Meixi Park

　　Meixi Park (formerly known as People's Park), located beside East Second Road on the eastern side of the county town, was built in 1985 and got its name because it is close to the flowing Meixi.

　　The site was originally a barren hill. Later, low-lying areas were dredged to form a lake, mounds were piled up into hills, and pavilions and houses were built, with greenery and flowers cultivated. By 1988, the park had taken initial shape, covering an area of 120 mu. Modeled after Suzhou gardens, it is delicate and exquisite, yet beautifully grand. Right inside the main gate, there is a circular flower bed blooming with flowers all year round. To the east, there is a swimming pool and a monument to revolutionary martyrs; to the west, there are a variety of flowers and plants as well as artificial hills.

　　In the center of the park, there is a meticulously built artificial lake, with shimmering ripples on the water surface, winding bridges, and elegant pavilions standing by. Weeping willows sway gracefully by the lakeside, and rows of benches are shaded under the willow trees. In spring, the park is lush with greenery and vibrant with blooming flowers. Viewed from afar, the tall trees and low blossoms create a colorful scene bursting with vitality.

　　Visitors come in an endless stream—some stand by the railings, admiring the lake and mountain scenery while enjoying the murmuring water and laughter; some take pleasure boats, gliding across the lake, often breaking into hearty laughter; others stroll along the winding flower paths, shaded by lush greenery and embraced by the gentle spring breeze, which adds a unique charm to the visit. On sweltering summer days, countless people come here to cool off or swim. The refreshing breeze and cool spring water bring a sense of joy and relaxation. When the setting sun dips in the west and the bright moon rises in the east, the flower-scented paths and romantic figures create a scene that feels like a fairyland.
