When is the best time to play in Nanhu Park?

The best time for Nanhu Park: all seasons are available.

Overlooking Nanhu Park from the air, we can clearly see its whole picture, which is dumbbell-shaped, narrow from east to west and long from north to south, with a water area of 96 hectares, similar to the Summer Palace in Beijing. Nanhu Park is the largest park in Changchun.

The planning of Nanhu Park began with the metropolitan plan of Greater Beijing formulated by the Japanese. In this plan, the Japanese imagine that according to the natural environment and rainfall of the city, several small tributaries of Yitong River will be used to build dams to form artificial lakes, and then separate drainage system will be implemented, that is, sewage will be discharged into Yitong River and rainwater will be stored in the artificial lakes. Based on this idea, Nanhu Park built this dam with a height of 10 m and a length of 800 m along today's Gongnong Road at 1937, using the water source of Xinglong ditch, a tributary of Yitong River, and finally formed today's artificial lake.

Nanhu Park is located in the middle of the isosceles triangle formed by Workers and Peasants Square, Nanhu Square and Xinmin Square.

This bridge divides the South Lake in two. It was also a bridge more than 60 years ago, but it was not such a reinforced concrete arch bridge. At that time, it was a wooden bridge called Hongqiao. 1In August, 948, the Kuomintang army set fire to Changchun to stop the PLA attack. Today, this bridge was built in 1979, named after Nanhu, so it is called Nanhu Bridge.

During the occupation, Nanhu Park, together with Eryu Park and Datong Park at that time, formed the cultural landscape of the city. Among these parks, Nanhu Park has the largest water area, which not only has the reservation of parks and drainage, but also has the function of urban backup water source.

From this map of the occupied period, we can see a reservation at the entrance of the north gate of the park. The Japanese army plans to build a declaration tower here to commemorate the outbreak and victory of the Pacific War. 1988, this is the place where the Japanese want to build a memorial tower, and a Changchun monument rises from the ground.
