Weihe River Park

　　Baoji City's Weihe River Park is currently the largest open park in Northwest China. Situated along the Weihe River in the Weibin District of Baoji, it has a total length of 3 kilometers, a width of 180–240 meters, and covers an area of 610,000 square meters, with green spaces accounting for 84% of the total area. The layout is designed as "one belt and seven zones," which includes a wave-prevention forest belt adjacent to the northern embankment, and from east to west, the lakeside scenic zone, ancient ferry spring awakening zone, millennium joy park zone, Olympic rings plaza zone, pear garden autumn scenery zone, Chencang ancient charm zone, and Wei River misty purple zone.

　　Advanced landscaping techniques were used in the construction of the park to reflect a design philosophy of simplicity, nature, beauty, and harmony, highlighting regional cultural features. In terms of greening and beautification, more than 700,000 flowering shrubs and ground-cover plants of over 30 varieties were planted using pattern modeling and group planting methods, creating novel and colorful designs. Artificial cacti and euphorbias were selected to decorate the sandy beaches and grassy areas, enhancing the landscape. Stones were also strategically placed on the lawns and along pathways to create focal points and enliven the natural ambiance. The innovative arrangement of plant-based landscaping, combined with undulating terrain, makes the scenery richer, more natural, and harmonious. A total of 166 sets of lights, comprising over 640 lamps—including 42 sets of sailboat lamps, more than 60 garden lamps, 4 sets of 30-meter-high mast lamps, and 21 sets of uniquely shaped magnolia, flying goose, and column lamps installed around the squares—were set up. Additionally, 50 sets of spotlights were installed around clusters of trees, and plastic pipe lights were arranged around flower stands and steps at Century Plaza to highlight light strips and emphasize illuminated areas in major scenic spots and squares. This creates a blend of light and shadow, along with a rich variety of colors. The park is also equipped with uniquely shaped guide signs, directional signs, informational signs, and mobile eco-friendly toilets.

　　Weihe River Park stretches from Shengli Bridge in the east to New Century Bridge in the west and is one of the ten free parks in Baoji. Recently, new attractions have been added to the park, including an "Ice and Snow World," where visitors can experience an icy theme for just 30 yuan in admission.
