Erlang Park consists of a new ship-shaped sluice gate alongside the historic old Erlang Sluice. The old sluice structure was originally built in 1919 and is the first water conservancy project in Tianjin. After the construction of the new sluice, the old one was preserved as a historic building rather than demolished. The park also features a Ming Dynasty-style stone boat replica, measuring approximately 50 meters in length, 20 meters in height, and 16 meters in width—larger than the one in Beijing’s Summer Palace. It is meticulously carved from fine white marble.
In addition, the site of Hengyuan Wool Textile Factory—the first textile enterprise in Tianjin’s history—is located near Erlang Park. As a result, the park not only offers beautiful natural scenery but also displays historical water conservancy tools and industrial equipment from the past. The park further provides amenities such as docks and open-air cafes, allowing visitors to take a rest, enjoy coffee, and admire centuries-old cultural relics.
