A childhood memory for Guangzhou locals! A complete guide to Dongshan Lake Park

For Guangzhou locals, Dongshan Lake Park is a childhood treasure engraved in their DNA 🎠 From childhood to adulthood, it carries countless beautiful memories. Every time you step in, it's like reuniting with an old friend, familiar and warm. 📍Address: No. 123, Donghu Road, Yuexiu District, Guangzhou 🚇Transportation: Take Metro Line 6 to Donghu Station, Exit B2, and walk for a few minutes. It's super convenient! 🎨Historical background: As one of the four artificial lake parks in Guangzhou, it opened to the public in 1958. When we were students, our teachers always loved to share with us their past experiences of participating in the construction of Dongshan Lake. At that time, Guangzhou was in ruins, and people, with their longing for a better life, worked together to build this urban oasis, brick by brick, shovel by shovel. Dongshan Lake, like a silent witness, has accompanied Guangzhou through the changes of time and witnessed the growth of several generations of Guangzhou people. 🗺️Tour route: ✅Head straight to the central lake: As soon as you enter the main entrance, the open central lake comes into view. The lake is as clear as a mirror, reflecting the lush greenery on the shore. Stroll along the lake, with a gentle breeze blowing, and you can occasionally see people fishing leisurely. Life is as peaceful as this. ✅Check in at the Nine-Curved Bridge: This is the C-position attraction of the park! With nine curves and eighteen bends, the bridge is decorated with carved beams and painted rafters. Every step unlocks a different angle of the lake and mountains. If you're lucky, you can see the Canton Tower in the distance. Every photo you take is a hit on social media. ✅Encounter Su Xieying Art Museum Cafe: A hidden gem in Donghu Park, no reservation is required, and it's open from 10:00 to 19:00. When you're tired of walking, come here and sit down, order a cup of coffee, and look at the lake view outside the window. It's so relaxing. ✅Arrive at the island in the lake: The island is shaded by green trees and inhabited by many birds, like a paradise in the city, full of wildness. On weekends, Guangzhou locals like to take a stroll in Dongshan Lake Park and spend a lazy and leisurely time with their families.
