China, Chinese Cities & Tourism, Chinese Culture

I have lived in Hangzhou for many years, but iI can’t remember how many times I have come here. Spring is when the flowers in Tai Zi Wan Park are blooming.

The tulips and cherry blossoms here are really beautiful, just like the dream garden of Monet! I also like the big grassy lawn here, really want to lie on the lawn and not get up!

There is a stream in Tai Zi Wan. You can also hear the stream, and see the fish in the water!

Some people fly kites on the lawn, some people blow bubbles, some people dance.. You will also see photographers taking wedding pictures of couples. Everywhere is permeated with the breath of spring, making people very comfortable! Bring a blanket when the weather is good, for sunbathing or a picnic, and there is also a shop that sells food and drinks. Tai Zi Wan is actually a place for spring, autumn, and winter, but not the best in summer, because the summer is too hot in Hangzhou. Hardly anyone goes to visit Tai Zi Wan in summer…..

Tai Zi Wan means “Princes’ Bay.” Tai Zi Wan park is located in the southwest corner of West Lake, under South Pingshan Lychee Peak.

Tai Zi Wan was named for two princes of the southern Song Dynasty. At that time, it was a shallow bay at the southern corner of West Lake. The waterfront is the burial place of the Song Dynasty crown prince Jingxian and prince Zhuangwen, hence the name “Princes’ Bay.” Tai zi wan Park was built in July 1988. It was basically completed in 1989. It is the earliest wedding park in Hangzhou, and there are banners displaying words about loyalty and togetherness.  The park used to be a depository of dredged silt from West Lake.
