At the ping pong tables, residents play with energetic enthusiasm; in the children's play areas, laughter fills the air; small plazas buzz with cheerful conversations... Jiayuguan's network of community gardens and pocket parks offers picturesque scenery at every turn, where locals exercise, relax, and socialize amidst lush surroundings.
These green recreational spaces, newly created this year within neighborhood reach, bring nature to residents' doorsteps—with vibrant landscapes, birdsongs, and floral fragrances becoming part of daily life. Communities now thrive with renewed vitality, where beautiful scenery and happiness are literally within arm's reach.
As part of its initiative to build a model city for modern urban governance, Jiayuguan has transformed underutilized spaces—aging gardens, vacant lots, and fragmented green areas—into thoughtfully designed "community gardens" and "pocket parks." These carefully planned oases meet diverse needs for recreation and exercise, fulfilling the ideal of "greenery outside your window, parks steps from your home."
