The largest park in urban Tianjin, long known as the 'West Lake of the North'; three lakes and five islands are connected by bridges and causeways, with summer lotuses and autumn willows each offering scenery of their own. The bonsai garden, lotus pond and boat pier form the classic route, combining lively morning exercisers with garden beauty; adjacent to the Zhou Enlai & Deng Yingchao Memorial Hall, it can be combined into a half-day city tour.
Getting there: Metro Line 3, Zhou-Deng Memorial Hall Station
