A couple weeks ago, I went
to Lychee (Litchi) Park in the Futian district of Shenzhen. It's
right in the city center and I had to take a bus and then the subway
to get there.
It was created in 1982 and
the park covers an area about 30 hectares. The park is really a
green oasis amongst the downtown skyscrapers with plants, birds,
flowers, shrubs, pavilions, a lake, and of course, lychee trees.
Outside one of the park's
entrances, near a major intersection, is a huge picture of Deng
Xiaoping.
It was really hot but a
very nice park and a nice escape from city life...
This is Duke. Pretty park. I'm constantly amazed at how big the cities are, with all of the high rise buildings. Not to be stupid, but who is Deng Xiaoping?
ReplyDeleteDeng was at politician most known for, and prob responsible for, China's opening-up and reform after Mao died.
