    Built in 1984, super relaxing green in the city centre! Adult tickets are 6 dollars for the whole day! They also have a tea house!

    Do the costume traditional costume dress up and walk around the park to the dismay of other visitors. It’s fun!

    Very nice place in the city centre. Small waterfalls and nature. Entrance fee for an adult is 6$. It pays the price

    Grab an early visit, it'll be extra quiet and you may spot some huge lizards sunbathing

    I like this place more in the winter season...less insects and spiders. Don't miss out the fish feeding at 11 am.

    I thought I was going to see some Chinese shit but all I got was some ridiculous trees (same ones I have in my backyard). Save some money and go to China town (for FREE) if you wanna see Chinese shit.
