Being one of the four municipalities of China, and due to its numerous travel resources, Tianjin receives more and more attention from both locals and tourists alike. Although it lacks a splendid historical background, Tianjin came under the pressure of Italy, Germany, France, Russia, Great Britain many times in the past, before the formation of the Republic of China. Shuishang Park, found in southwest of Tianjin is unmistakably one of the brilliant places to visit during a trip to this city, which is 137 kilometers southeast of Beijing.
The giant lakes to the West, East and South, a constellation of 13 islets that dot the lake, a series of pedestrian arch bridges, ornate pavilions and paddle boats contribute to its incomparable beauty. Covering an area of 213 hectares, the Shuishang Park, built in 1950, provides entertainment for the entire family. Keen nature lovers will enjoy the lotuses on sight and the arch bridges and artificial dykes that connect the small islands. The sidewalks in these isles are shaded by Chinese ashes, Chinese scholar trees, silk trees and Chinese parasols. The Yuantiao Pavilion, which is 26 meters high and the three-layer sloping terrace provide a spectacular view of the park. The charm and the tranquility of the park can be experienced in the Shuishang Park’s deep interior. There is also a zoo that houses over 200 animals including pandas and golden monkeys. The paddle boats also add to the many list of things to do in the park. To the north of the park is the Nankai University and Tianjin University and the Tianjin Broadcasting and Television Tower, often referred to as “Sky Tower.”
