Recently, the highly anticipated Taolai River Waterfront Park officially opened to the public. Combining natural beauty with recreational amenities, this park has quickly become a new urban landmark, captivating visitors with its picturesque scenery and dynamic water features.
As a vital waterway, the Taolai River has long been an ecological treasure. The newly opened waterfront park leverages these natural advantages through thoughtful planning and design. Upon entering, visitors are greeted by lush greenery, with vibrant flowers and trees arranged harmoniously to create a living tapestry of colors. Meandering pathways invite leisurely strolls, where the crisp air makes one feel embraced by nature.
The centerpiece of the park—the Taolai River itself—is a mesmerizing sight. Sunlight dances on the clear, rippling water, while birds occasionally skim the surface, adding vitality to the scene. To enhance the visitor experience, multiple waterfront platforms offer ideal spots to pause and enjoy the view, accompanied by gentle breezes.
Beyond its natural allure, the park boasts well-equipped facilities: benches scattered throughout for rest, dedicated parking for convenience, clear signage for navigation, recycling bins to promote sustainability, and a creatively designed children’s play area that has become a favorite for families.
On the management front, the park ensures safety and cleanliness with electric patrol and maintenance vehicles. Upgraded amenities include heated guard stations and restrooms for winter comfort, over 70 safety signs, emergency equipment kits, life-saving tools, and smart fire-prevention systems. Embracing green practices, the park features 450+ solar-powered and energy-efficient lights, paired with smart timers to reduce energy use while illuminating the waterfront beautifully.
Since its opening, the park has become a beloved destination for locals. Mornings and evenings buzz with walkers, joggers, and families. "When I heard about this new park in Jiayuguan, I brought my family here all the way from the northern district," shared Shi Yanzhao, a delighted visitor. "The scenery is stunning—snow-capped mountains in the distance, glistening water up close, and endless blue skies. It truly embodies ‘Water Nourishes the Frontier.’ They say water brings vitality, and Jiayuguan is proof: a vibrant, livable city. We’re proud to call it home!"
The Taolai River Waterfront Park not only adds charm to the cityscape but also reflects the government’s commitment to ecological and social progress. Over time, it is poised to become a shining emblem of urban sustainability, drawing even more visitors to its unique allure.
