Attraction Introduction

        The land area is mainly dedicated to children's playgrounds, while the water features various types of pleasure boats. Before the 1970s, the lake water here was clear and the scenery beautiful, but it was severely damaged due to environmental pollution. It regained its former charm after dredging and treatment in 1989. In May 1991, a group sculpture of young heroes was unveiled here, showcasing the stories of outstanding young hero figures from different historical periods of China's revolution to young visitors under the red scarf, inspiring today’s children to strive for excellence.

The park features a group sculpture of young heroes, making it well-known for its educational focus on children. The young heroes depicted include notable figures from revolutionary history: labor pioneer Luo Zhiqun and other young heroes from the Great Revolution period; young singer Zhang Jinhui and other young heroes from the Land Reform period; Liu Hulan from the Anti-Japanese War; Little Radish Head from the Liberation War period; Liu Wenxue and Lai Ning from after the founding of the People’s Republic of China. There are also Soviet hero Zoya and Chinese youth hero Lei Feng.
