Beichen Park

　　Beichen Park was built in 2003, covering an area of 76,500 square meters. It was constructed on the site of the relocated former Beicang Village. The park was invested in by the district government and features a plaza that can be used for public gatherings and recreational activities during holidays. The park also has fitness equipment for adults and play areas for children. A wide variety of plants are grown in the park, including precious species such as ginkgo and papaya, ensuring flowers bloom in three seasons and greenery all year round.

　　In front of the entrance to Beichen Park stands a massive rock, measuring 460 cm in length, 153 cm in width, and 125 cm in thickness, weighing approximately 17 tons. The rock originates from Jixian County and is a stromatolite from the Mesoproterozoic to Neoproterozoic era, over 1.3 billion years old. It was formed from the deposition of algae, mud, and shells, making it one of the world’s rare rocks and a nationally protected cultural relic. After polishing, the rock surface is extremely smooth and delicate, feeling like touching a baby’s skin. Its colors are vibrant, with clear patterns resembling shells and algae. The rock is hard in texture, reflecting the geological changes of the Mesoproterozoic to Neoproterozoic crust. It has become the park’s treasured centerpiece. The sunny side of the rock is inscribed with the characters “Beichen Park” written by Wang Chao, in bold and powerful strokes that convey grandeur.
