New Shopping Mall Opens for Trial Operation in Qibao Town

Comprehensive facilities upgraded at Minhong Longyuan

Minhong Longyuan Park, which was recently upgraded and renovated from an existing public green space at the intersection of Minhong Road and Wanyuan Road, sits close to the Zhonggeng World Mall and connects directly with the Lianhua Road Station of Metro Line 1.

The park integrates the local history and culture of the Meilong area, relying on the clear waters of the Dianpu River to seamlessly blend the graceful flow of water with the vibrant energy of the commercial district, creating a harmonious balance of tranquility and activity.

The park boasts a number of comprehensive facilities, including a riverside walkway, a children's playground, a rest station, a large lawn, and a leisure plaza, forming a green and multi-dimensional ecological space that serves both local residents and businesses.

It also hosts a set of distinctive landscape art installations, consisting of six human-shaped metal sculptures, standing in a row on an open lawn and blending perfectly with the surrounding greenery and vegetation, combining modern aesthetics with humanistic sentiment.

Seniors can stroll and relax, children can play and frolic, and office workers can commute and walk through.

The park is seamlessly integrated into the core areas of residential communities, commercial districts, and subway stations, making it easily accessible for residents and offering scenic views at every turn.
