Renmin Park (People's Park)
The Basics
A visit to Renmin Park is included in a number of guided Chengdu tours, ranging from half-day to multi-day options. The 28-acre (11.5-hectare) park is beautifully landscaped, with numerous walking paths and flower gardens, as well as an artificial lake where you can rent paddleboats. One of the best ways to enjoy Renmin Park is to people-watch over a cup of tea from one of the many teahouses in the park. Highlights include Jinshui Creek (with numerous trees and flowers along its banks), Heming Teahouse (the largest and best preserved teahouse in the park), Artificial Hill’s waterfall, Goldfish Island (home to hundreds of fish), the Orchid Garden, and the Bonsai Garden.
