## About Hongshan Park

The heart of Urumqi: a reddish sandstone hill 910 m above sea level, 1,500 m long and 1,000 m wide, crowned by a 10.5 m brick pagoda. Surrounding it is the 500,000 square metre Hongshan Park. The scenery is nothing exceptional, but as a landmark of Urumqi it is a place visitors should not miss. 'Pagoda Against the Setting Sun' is one of the Eight Scenic Views of Urumqi and is well worth seeing.
