WangJiang Park (Chengdu)

China / Sichuan / Chengdu

Sitting on the southern bank of Jinjiang in Chengdu City, Wangjiang Park is a memorial to a female poet of the Tang Dynasty (618 - 907) - Xue Tao (768 - 831). The 39-meter-high Wangjiang Tower is the greatest building in the park and has been regarded as a landmark in Chengdu City.

Wangjiang means "overlooking a river from a distance." The park is renowned because the famous poet, Xue Tao (768 - 831), once lived here. Luxuriant bamboos are planted here because they are the poetess' favorite. So, it is also the ideal place to appreciate bamboos in Chengdu City. If you are fortunate, you can see the Bamboo Culture Festival here.
