Riverside Park Scenic Area

　　The Riverside Park Scenic Area was first built in the 1950s to prevent wind erosion, stabilize sand, and protect the riverbank. A corridor of poplar and willow trees stretching for hundreds of miles was planted along the right bank of the Songhua River. In 1986, park gates, walls, and an artificial lake were constructed, and in 1992, the park was expanded and turned into a public park. It now covers an area of 19 hectares, making it the largest public park in Ningjiang District and a major leisure destination for local residents.

　　The park features areas for children’s play, animal viewing, water recreation, and fitness. An annual garden party is held on the Dragon Boat Festival. At dawn, crowds gather both inside and outside the park, along the bridges, and across the river island, creating a sea of people. In winter, the park transforms into a silver wonderland, with unique rime ice and ice sculptures that captivate visitors, making it an ideal spot for leisure and entertainment.
