Tuanjiu Urban Wetland Park

Tuanjiu Urban Wetland Park

Tuanjiu Urban Wetland Park is located on the north side of the Tuanjiu Scenic Area and the south side of Tui Bei Road, stretching from Zhangshi Bridge in the east to Tui West Road in the west. With a waterfront land area of approximately 180,000 square meters, it is a city park featuring wetland ecological functions that integrate ecological conservation, science education, natural wilderness, and leisure tourism. This park is the most biologically diverse ecological landscape in Yixing’s urban area and serves as the city’s “green lung.” As an important part of the Tuanjiu Scenic Area development, Tuanjiu Urban Wetland Park broke ground in September 2006 and officially opened in October 2007.

The park is divided into three zones from east to west: "Butterfly Island," "Fishing Island," and "Water Chestnut Island." Specifically, the area from Zhangshi Bridge Square to Dongting Bridge is Butterfly Island, from Dongting Bridge to Xiting Bridge is Fishing Island, and from Xiting Bridge to Tuanjiu West Road is Water Chestnut Island. As a wetland park primarily focused on ecological conservation and natural wilderness, it fully highlights the theme of "greenery." Based on the water terrain, it forms three distinct layers of plant landscape zones—distant, middle, and near—each with its own unique characteristics.

Tuanjiu Urban Wetland Park is the crowning achievement in the development of the Tuanjiu Scenic Area. It plays a significant role in achieving connectivity and scenic beauty on all sides of Tuanjiu, making it a true “West Lake” of Yixing. The construction of Tuanjiu Urban Wetland Park embodies the new concept of natural ecology in Yixing’s urban development. The park covers a green space of 12.86 hectares, with a green coverage rate as high as 77.5%. Relying on the waters of Tuanjiu, the park makes full use of the existing lake surface to create diverse, dynamic, and ever-changing water features. The entire wetland park includes five major types of vegetation: trees, shrubs, ground covers, bamboos, and aquatic plants, comprising nearly 200 species. In addition, the park's green squares, public buildings, parking lots, pathways, and other systems are equipped with a variety of lighting fixtures tailored to their respective characteristics, adding another beautiful nighttime landscape to the northern bank of Tuanjiu.
