In recent years, the City of Hohhot, of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region has attached great importance to the construction of urban parks by designing them with distinguishing features, as a way to improve the living environment of the locals.
Princess Mansion Park
Apart from being recognized as a symbol of national unity, the park is also a site of commemoration where a total of 367 peach trees have been planted as a show of respect to the 367 fallen soldiers of the War of Resistance against Japan. When the Qingming Festival approaches, peach flowers spring into full blossom and create a majestic landscape, attracting tourists far and wide.
Genghis Khan Park
Located in the northeastern corner of Hohhot New City, the Genghis Khan Park serves as both a public park and a site of history and education. Bits of Genghis Khan’s eventful and unusual life story are channeled through all different aspects of the park. With a total area of 560,000 square meters, the park is divided into northern and southern areas.
Grassland Silk Road Theme Park
Underpinning China’s Belt and Road Initiatives, the park features a grassland silk road and showcases Mongolian ethnic culture. It is the park’s intention to restore what Hohhot City looked like during the age of China’s feudal dynasties by creating five major scenic areas: Prosperous Qingcheng, Mongolian flourishing age in Yuan Dynasty, wonderful scenery of Kukuhe County, Long Song of flourishing dynasty and stories within the cloud. It has now become an ideal place for weekend family trips.
