What to see文化看點

Ponds on the west side of Rongcheng, more than twenty of them, joined but not one sheet of water. The zigzag bridge and the pavilion are in different places, and the bridge is what ties the water together. This is where local people go at dusk. What you look at is an ordinary evening, not monuments.

What it is是什麼

Jieyang West Lake — Rongjiang West Lake Park — is on Wangjiang North Road in Rongcheng. Inside are more than twenty ponds, taking up most of the ground. The zigzag bridge turns in nine spans and joins the two banks; the pavilion sits in the middle of the water.

It is not a monument but a city park, where people walk, play chess and talk at the end of the day. There is a small funfair and there are boats as well.

What to look at看什麼

The zigzag bridge: nine spans and turns; better to walk than a straight bridge.
The pavilion: in the middle of the water, open on four sides, the coolest place in the park.
The afterglow: nothing tall to the west, and at sunset the water throws it back best.

Visiting參觀提示

Free. Best at dusk and glaring by day. Mosquitoes at the waterside in summer, so bring repellent. The Confucian temple and the City God temple of the old city are not far, which makes this a good end to an old-city day.

Tickets and opening Free. Open all hours; the bridge and the pavilion are inside the park. No booking.
