Renmin Park

Renmin Park

Renmin Park with an area of 70 thousands sq meters and close to the downtown is named after Bailong(white dragon)Lake, so is also called Bailong Park. It is recorded that Diqing, a General of Song Dynasty has lived this area. One day, he saw a group of white sheep walking in line just like a white dragon and then named the lake Bailong Lake. Hence, we could know it has been over thousand years history.

In front of the gate, there is a hillside named Wangshanpo, with dense green forest, which is the main attraction of the Park. Here, a stone path with 141 steps and 10meters wide go up to the top of the mountain. It is said that Louxiu, a person in the Jin Dynasty had cultivated himself here and became celestial being, so that it is called Luixiu Mt after him. On this mount, there is a castle build by laying bricks, within which it is a platform for a cannon made in Germany. Wangshanpo is the highest point of Nanning City. Standing on the top of it, you will have a bird eye of the whole city.
On the south of Wangshanpo, it is the Bailong Lake. On each bank of the lake, the green bamboo is reflected inversely on the water and the willows are weeping with gentle breeze. An island in the lake is connected with banks by two small bridges, on which people can enjoy feeding the fish. On the north of the hillside, there is a memorial tower for revolutionists, which is 25 meters in high and surrounded by the dense green pines around. In the center of the park, there is a large-scale garden of sunless growing plants.
