Xiamen Bailuzhou Park Travel Guide

Xiamen Bailuzhou Park is a large free park in the city. The natural landscape and artificial attractions here complement each other, and the spatial layering is very prominent, which makes citizens and tourists shine. Discover the brightest time of summer here. Here I would like to share with you a detailed guide to visiting Bailuzhou Park.

The egret is the city bird of Xiamen and came to this island earlier than humans. When Xiamen people landed on this deserted island in the early days, they saw groups of egrets floating on the water, hence the name "Egret Island". In Xiamen, there are many streets and shops named after "Heron". The light egret has become the best wish of Xiamen people.

The most famous park is the Egret Statue, which is now a landmark of Xiamen. The egret statue is located in the East Garden. On the boulder, there is a long-haired woman with a beautiful face. She half-knelt by the lake and washed her hair with water. An egret perched on her shoulder. The woman looked back at the egret and smiled.

The egret means female nurturing and life, and the egret means beauty. The whole statue gives people a sense of harmony and peace. I think Xiamen, just like this statue, will be full of life and vitality.

Bailuzhou Park is located in Shuodang Lake. The word "Yaodang" is pronounced as "yndng", which means bamboo growing by the water. Swinging Lake was originally connected to the sea. In the 1970s, land was reclaimed from the sea and the west embankment from the floating island to Dudong was built. From then on, Yaodang Lake became an inner lake and was named Bailuzhou.

__The lake is extremely clear, with a water area of ??1.7 square kilometers. On a sunny day, the lake surface glows with golden light without any ripples. The entire lake is like a gem worth tens of millions, exuding a breathtaking blue color. Isn’t blue the representative color of Xiamen? Romantic, tranquil and vibrant Xiamen, once a remote desert island, is now a world-famous tourist city and has long since completed its transformation.

Bailuzhou Park is divided into two parts by a road. The East Park is a musical fountain square, and next to the square is a tall greenway. The elaborate gardens make one wonder if they are from abroad.

Whenever night falls, the musical fountain starts performing. The gorgeous lights and dancing springs attract many people to come and watch, becoming a scene in Xiamen. Once upon a time, the night view of Yaodang Lake was also very beautiful. On a moonlit night, fully loaded fishing boats returned to the port and lined up to go ashore. The lights of each boat were reflected in the water, swaying and drifting, shining with gravel, and it was a "hazy night".

After the West Levee was built, the fishing fires disappeared, and the once bright nights became a touch of warmth in people’s memories.

The West Garden is larger, with the egret statue and pigeon square as the center, free and open, and the environment is elegant. The egret statue is 13.6 meters high. After arriving in Xiamen, many tourists will make a special trip to take photos with the goddess before arriving in Xiamen.

Pigeon Square is a must. In Xiamen, feeding pigeons has become a famous local experience. This batch of pigeons was imported from the Netherlands, with a total of 400 pigeons. They are brave and not afraid of people at all. Many tourists come here to feed them every day. They will jump on you and eat food from your hand with their mouths.

On that day, many parents brought their children, and the children staggered towards the pigeons, but the pigeons did not panic and quietly held the food on the grass. This painting is very beautiful. Children and doves live in harmony, representing the harmony between man and nature, which is beautiful and warm. Isn't this what the Egret Goddess wants to express?

There are many scenic spots in the park, including the Mother and Child Statue, the Cultural Relics Museum, and the entire Bailuzhou Island, which is a microcosm of Xiamen for hundreds of years. It has a long history, culture, and of course a brilliant future.

With flowers in bloom, green grass, bees and butterflies flying, and birds flying, the environment of Bailuzhou Park is also first-rate. If you go to Xiamen, don't forget this free park. Take a walk, take a look, and learn more about this beautiful "Heron City".
