## About Nanhu Park

Built in 1933, Nanhu Park is the largest park in Changchun and the second-largest urban park in China, after the Summer Palace. For Northeast China, it has a distinctly Jiangnan charm, with willows along the banks, fragrant flowers and birdsong, zigzag bridges and pavilions. The cleanliness of the lake water, however, leaves something to be desired.
