## About West Lake Park

West Lake Park is the best-preserved classical garden in Fuzhou. The Fujian Provincial Museum and the Food Exhibition Hall are also located within the park. Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, West Lake hosts dragon boat races, when fierce and spectacular rowing unfolds across the wide expanse of water and sky, and the sound of drums and gongs rings to the heavens.
