Changji People's Park

　　Changji City People's Park is a public welfare institution and an important place for citizens to visit, relax, entertain, and carry out science and cultural publicity. It is also a key component of the city's service functions, disaster prevention and risk mitigation infrastructure, and green space system. Established in 1984, the park covers an area of 264,400 square meters, including a water area of 37,100 square meters and green space of 63,300 square meters, playing a positive role in improving the overall urban ecological environment. It is the largest comprehensive park in Changji Prefecture and the only remaining old-town scenic area preserved in the city to date. The park currently has 66 staff members, including 45 in active service and 21 retirees.

　　As a famous tourist scenic spot in the urban area, People's Park tells the past, present, and future of this fertile land to every visitor through its historic relics weathered by time, beautiful and pleasant garden scenery, distinctive ethnic customs, and vibrant modern atmosphere.

　　Located in the northeast corner of the urban area, the park spans 396 mu. When it was established in 1984, through the joint efforts of the military and civilians of Changji City, large-scale renovations were carried out, including the creation of a 15-meter-high artificial hill and a 26,240-square-meter artificial lake, which greatly enhanced the park’s landscape. In 2006, the municipal government placed great emphasis on the park’s construction and development, investing 1.5 million yuan in a major renovation project that added the Flower Harbor Fish Viewing attraction, newly planted 30,000 square meters of lawn, and constructed a 2-kilometer-long stream. In 2007, the municipal government further increased investment to implement the second phase of the park’s renovation project, with an estimated investment of 1.9 million yuan to renovate the park’s front gate, dance hall, and peninsula. Once completed, the park’s scenery will become even more serene and picturesque, making this largest comprehensive park in the urban area a true ideal leisure and entertainment destination for people of all ethnicities.

　　In its planning, People's Park skillfully integrates the ancient city ruins, classical garden features, and ethnic minority customs, interweaving a variety of uniquely themed amusement facilities. The park adopts a mixed layout style and is divided into several major areas: The front gate square serves as an entertainment and activity area that combines artistic performances and public welfare promotional events. In the northern part of the park lies a tranquil rest area consisting of an artificial hill, an artificial lake, lake embankments, a peninsula, pavilions, and lush green trees surrounding the lake. The southeast side features a children's play area with attractions such as a National Defense Park, a youth amusement park, and a Children's City. The west side includes a leisure and vacation area with elements like Mongolian yurts and Youyicun. In the west and northeast corners are two sites of the ancient city of Changji, which are municipal-level cultural heritage protection units. The park was rated as a National AA-level Tourist Attraction in 2003.
