Yang Liandi Park

　　Yang Liandi Park is situated at the intersection of Gaofeng Road and Beicang Avenue in Beichen District, with an area of 16,344 square meters. The park houses a statue of Yang Liandi, a national hero of the Volunteer Army known for his climbing feats. It serves as a site for paying tribute to revolutionary martyrs and a base for revolutionary education. The area is separated and transitioned from other zones by evergreen pine and cypress trees, reflecting solemnity while achieving seamless integration with the surroundings. The park’s pleasant scenery makes it a popular spot for local residents to take walks, relax, enjoy leisure activities, and exercise, and it is one of the more modern-feeling parks in the area.

　　In the park stands a west-facing stone bust of Yang Liandi. The pedestal bears the inscription “Climbing Hero Yang Liandi,” written on May 5, 1995, by Hong Xuezhi, then Vice Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference. The back of the monument is engraved with a biography of the martyr’s life and six illustrations depicting his glorious achievements. The bust along with its pedestal stands 5.2 meters tall.

　　On the southern side of the park is a large lotus pond, featuring scenic spots such as a mushroom-shaped pavilion for admiring lotuses, a lotus viewing platform, a lotus viewing corridor, and Cangfeng Garden.
