Wenbi Mountain Leisure Park

　　   Ziyang County’s Wenbi Mountain Leisure Theme Park faces the county across the river. With the construction of the Ziyang Port Han River Bridge, connections between the southern bank and the county town will become more convenient and seamless. Wenbi Mountain Leisure Park leverages the natural ecological environment of Wenbi Mountain to create a core highlight of the “Ten-Mile Riverside Scenic Corridor.”

　　   The park’s layout centers around the Zhenren Palace of Ziyang, emphasizing natural forest landscapes. It integrates with the county’s riverside scenic corridor, the Zhenren Palace of Ziyang, and the Ziyanggou Water Amusement Park to form an ecotourism destination with distinctive Ziyang characteristics.

　　   The planned land area of the park is 1,300 mu. Major construction elements include landscape projects for fitness, leisure, and sightseeing platforms, roadworks, ground paving, greening, night lighting, and building construction. This park serves as a showcase of Ziyang to the outside world and plays a significant role in improving residents’ quality of life, enhancing urban functionality, and elevating the city’s overall appeal.

　　   “Zhenren of Ziyang” Bronze Statue

　　   Ziyang is the only county in China named after a Taoist title. It derives its name from Zhang Boduan, the founder of the Southern School of Taoism, who attained enlightenment here. Zhang Boduan, also known as Pingshu, with the courtesy names Ziyang and Ziyang Immortal, was referred to as “Mr. Wuzhen” and revered as the “Zhenren of Ziyang.” The statue of the “Zhenren of Ziyang” is located in the “Zhenren Integrity Square” within Wenbi Peak Mountain Leisure Park and serves as the square’s iconic structure. The statue stands 15.12 meters tall, symbolizing the year 1512 when Ziyang County was established. The bronze portion is 6.6 meters high, with a 3.3-meter stone base, totaling 9.9 meters—symbolizing the Taoist and Eastern philosophical concept of “nine nines returning to one,” and also representing the 99 years Zhang Boduan is said to have spent cultivating immortality on this mountain before ascending to heaven.
