Tumen River National Forest Park

　　Tumen River Park is located on the banks of the Tumen River along the China–North Korea border, facing Namyang in North Korea across the river. It stretches from Yanxing Hutong and Xinhua Road in the north of Tumen City, west to Kou’an Avenue, and east to the Tumen River. Established in 1982, the park runs over 2,000 meters along the river, featuring stone embankments and asphalt-paved paths. The embankment includes tourist facilities such as photography studios and food service stands. Inside the park, there are tourist amenities like motorboats, bamboo rafts, and kayaks available for visitors. From the Tumen River Embankment Park, visitors can gaze at the scenic views of both China and North Korea along the riverbanks, a sight that is truly captivating. In the evening, as the park lights up, the shimmering lights from both sides of the river reflect on the water, while laughter from visitors fills the air. In the distance, the hazy mountains create a mystical and enchanting atmosphere.

　　Tumen River Park began its expansion in 2007, covering a total area of approximately 7 hectares. The total investment for the park reached 50 million yuan. The eastern side of the site features a straight embankment, while the western side has an irregular zigzag shape.

　　The design of Tumen River Park follows the concept of harmony between people, nature, history, and culture. It aims to explore the meaning and value of overall form and emotional space within urban design. Against the rich historical and cultural backdrop of the city, the park integrates the scenery of the Tumen River with daily human activities. Through modern landscape design language, it emphasizes and highlights the unique characteristics of the city, striving to create a vibrant waterfront open space.
