[2025 Zhengzhou Attraction] Travel Guide for Bisha Hillock Park (Updated May)

#cherryblossom25 #discoverchina #zhengzhou #springs Dawn at Bishagang Park revealed an urban miracle - cherry blossoms floating above the walking paths like living stained glass. As Zhengzhou's early risers performed tai chi beneath the floral canopy, I discovered this city park transforms into a pink wonderland each spring, offering metropolitan dwellers their own slice of sakura magic without the crowds of more famous destinations. The true charm revealed itself in the details: petals dusting the brim of a street cleaner's hat, children giggling as they tried to catch falling blooms, elderly couples holding hands while admiring the transient beauty. Near the park's central fountain, a lone violinist played beneath the blossoms, the music mingling with birdsong to create an impromptu spring symphony. By noon, sunlight filtering through the petals painted the pavement in ever-changing patterns of light and shadow. In this unassuming urban oasis, I found proof that you don't need to cross oceans to experience cherry blossom perfection - sometimes it grows right in your backyard.

Have you ever thought about starting a wonderful day with an invigorating morning run? Today, I'm going to share my unique experience with you and take you to appreciate the unique charm of Zhengzhou Bishagang and Yueji Park. This morning run starts from the historic Bishagang Park, which was built in 1928 by General Feng Yuxiang to commemorate the martyrs of the Northern Expedition. The name means "green blood and red heart, blood-stained yellow sand." The monument to the martyrs of the Northern Expedition in the park is solemn and makes people remember that glorious time. With a green coverage rate of 94.3%, walking through it is like talking to history, and you can also enjoy the beautiful scenery of the peony garden, magnolia garden and other special parks. Starting from Bishagang Park, you can quickly reach Yueji Park along the city streets. This place is simply the kingdom of roses, collecting and preserving more than 1,200 varieties, a total of about 300,000 roses. Walking through it is like being in a dreamy sea of flowers. I made a special trip to run in the park on a weekday morning. Compared to the crowded weekends, the park is less crowded and more beautiful at this time, quiet and comfortable, and you can enjoy the joy of running in an immersive way and get close to nature. After running 10 km, I felt extremely satisfied both physically and mentally. Transportation Guide: - Bishagang Park: Bishagang Station of Metro Line 1; Bus B11 and other buses are available. - Yueji Park: Yueji Park Station of Metro Line 5; Bus B11 also passes through here. If you also love running, you may want to experience this unique route and feel the unique charm of these two parks in Zhengzhou while exercising.

Built in 1928, Zhengzhou Bishagang Park is one of the earliest comprehensive parks in Zhengzhou. From late March to mid-April, the purple wisteria trellis and the bright red crabapple blossoms along Haitang Avenue create a spring landscape, while the Northern Expedition War Memorial and the Three People's Principles Pavilion quietly recount the vicissitudes of history. 🌺 Must-See Attractions and In-Depth Experiences Flower Viewing Map: • Wisteria Trellis: The wisteria frames along the central axis cascade like waterfalls, creating a "romantic, timeless" scene with the European-style architecture. • Crabapple Garden: Entering its peak season in mid-April, 1,500 flowering crabapple and Chinese flowering apple trees create a poetic "stroll through a sea of flowers." • Chinese Trumpet Creeper Waterfall: The Chinese trumpet creeper trellis under the Ferris wheel in the west gate blooms in late April, appearing even more enchanting in the rain. Historical Exploration: • Northern Expedition Memorial: The 17.6m memorial tower inscribed by Marshal Nie Rongzhen features base reliefs depicting the Northern Expeditionary Army charging forward. • Zhaozhong Temple: A well-preserved group of buildings from the Republic of China era, with inscriptions written by Feng Yuxiang in the Three People's Principles Pavilion recording the epic of the revolution.

Bishagang Park Autumn Family Day Trip Bishagang Park in autumn is like a palette of colors, tranquil and beautiful, making it a perfect destination for a family day trip. Morning: Encounter the Beauty of Autumn Ginkgo Avenue Stroll In the morning, the sun is just right. Enter the park through the south gate and head to Ginkgo Avenue. The golden ginkgo leaves hang like little fans on the branches, and the ground is covered with a thick layer, like a golden carpet. Stroll with your child, listening to the rustling of fallen leaves underfoot, as if you are in a fairy tale world. You can play a "find the largest ginkgo leaf" game with your child to stimulate their observation and exploration skills. Flower Viewing Area Adjacent to Ginkgo Avenue is the flower viewing area, where chrysanthemums are in full bloom in autumn. The colorful chrysanthemums come in various shapes, some like hydrangeas, others like strands of hair. Guide your child to appreciate the beauty of chrysanthemums and explain their frost-resistant qualities, fostering resilience in your child. This is also a great place for photos, with chrysanthemums as a backdrop for beautiful pictures of your child. Noon: Fun Picnic in the Park Choose a lawn, lay out a picnic mat, and enjoy a joyful picnic time. Prepare some of your child's favorite sandwiches, fruits, cookies, juices, and other delicacies. During the picnic, share autumn stories with your child, such as the legend of the Mid-Autumn Festival and why leaves turn yellow in autumn, to enhance parent-child communication. You can also encourage your child to invite nearby playmates to share food, fostering their social skills. Afternoon: History, Culture, and Fun Experiences Northern Expedition Martyrs Monument After the picnic, head to the Northern Expedition Martyrs Monument. With reverence, tell your child about the heroic deeds of the Northern Expedition, helping them understand the hard-won peace and planting the seed of patriotism in their hearts. Teach your child to remain quiet and solemn in front of the monument, paying tribute to the martyrs. Children's Play Area Finally, visit the children's play area, which features a carousel, a small train, slides, and other amusement facilities. Let your child play freely and express their nature. Parents can join in, riding the carousel with their child, accompanying them on the small train, and spending a wonderful afternoon filled with laughter. During the autumn family day trip to Bishagang Park, children can connect with nature, experience the beauty of autumn, learn about history and culture, and find joy and growth in play, creating precious parent-child memories.

🕹️Located in the prosperous area of ​​the central urban area of ​​Zhengzhou, adjacent to the Zhengzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, it was formerly the cemetery for the fallen soldiers of the Northern Expedition. General Feng Yuxiang named it "Bishagang" with the meaning of "red blood and red heart, blood in the yellow sand". 🏞️The park covers an area of ​​230,000 square meters, with a greening rate of 88.9%, a green coverage rate of 94.3%, and 🌲there are 238 species of woody plants in 66 families, 128 genera. In terms of overall planning and layout, the original regular design of the cemetery has been retained. Eight specialized gardens, including magnolia garden, palm garden, peony garden, agarwood garden, rose planting center, crabapple garden, and crabapple variety garden, have been built around the central axis and the main ring road, forming a landscape layout of "one axis, one ring, and eight gardens", and constructing four functional areas: specialized gardens, amusement parks, fitness parks, and leisure squares. It's very suitable to check in, take photos and take a walk. 🎫Tickets: None 🎡Tickets: charged separately ⛳Park address: No. 31, Jianshe East Road, Zhongyuan District, Zhengzhou (Bishagang, Metro Line 1) 🚇Transportation: The Greentown Plaza Station on Line 1 is near the west gate of Bishagang, not inside the park. ps: If you drive, you can park your car in the public parking lot opposite the west gate 🚶Personally, I think it is suitable to go in the afternoon or evening. You can take a walk and take photos after dinner. There are many people running in the summer evening.

It’s the end of the white season and not very fresh. The elmleaf plum, cherry blossoms and winter jasmine are in full bloom. Several crabapple trees facing the sun are already in full bloom, and most of the flower buds on both sides of the road will reach full bloom in two days. Other crabapple varieties are still in bud form. If you come from the north gate, go left after entering. If you come from the south gate, just walk on the right. There are many flowers on both sides of the road. If your cervical spine is not in good condition, you can effectively prevent it by coming to Bishagang to enjoy the flowers.
