In fact, Chinese aesthetics have hardly changed over the years, although there are many tourist attractions today, but those places that were popular in the past are still popular. Hupao Park is one of them, and it was once known as 'the West Lake Double Gems'

There is a layered pavilion called Tie Cui Xian in Hupao Park, and there are also stone tablets inscribed with calligraphy by famous Ming Dynasty artists at this place, on which are written the four characters 'Hupao Dream Spring', which are full of vigor and also have a touch of poetry, giving a different feeling. Walking through the park, you can see the footprints of ancient people everywhere, and you can also feel different historical atmospheres

At the source of the spring is a very high cliff wall. Due to the environment here, there are many green mosses growing, and there is also a very thick tree trunk, which looks like a soldier guarding the spring
The trees in the park are very dense, and the air is also very good. Walking on the small paths in the park, listening to the sound of the flowing water, everything feels so beautiful.
