Shuangba Ecological Park

　　Shuangba Ecological Park is situated on the northern side of the central city. To the south, it connects with the Shuiyan Highway (Renmin Road), to the east with the Second Rolling Mill of Shuicheng Iron and Steel (Group) Corporation, and to the west with the Shui-Mei Railway Line. It lies 2.5 kilometers from the location of the District People's Government. The area is surrounded by mountains on all sides, with well-preserved ecological vegetation and green space covering about 50% of the region. There are over 250 fir trees that are 60 years old. To the south of the park, there is a natural barrier formed by a series of mountains — Xiejia Dayan, Dayan Mountain, Miaopao Mountain, Fengzi Mountain, Shiweigan, and Shaopopo Slope — stretching from west to east. This barrier shields the area from industrial smoke, noise, and the hustle and bustle of the city, creating a layout characterized by “city to the south, villages to the north, and enterprises to the east and west.” Key scenic spots within the park include: Golden Bell Lake (commonly known as Shuiyandam or Little West Lake), the Eighteen Arhats Striking the Golden Bell (a mountain in the center of the dam resembling a bell, surrounded by eighteen peaks), Tongtian Cave (also called Tongdong Mountain, with an elevation of 2,112.6 meters), Little Stone Forest, Stone General, over 300 acres of natural azalea forests, and more than 30 acres of natural grassland. The area boasts good vegetation, convenient transportation, a setting nestled against mountains and water, and captivating landscapes. In March 2001, it was designated as the “Zhongshan District Sightseeing Agricultural Economic Park.”
