Guoguo Park

Guoguo Park

Guoguo park is located on the ruins of Guoguo ancient city in the east section of Gushan road in Sanmenxia City. It covers an area of 18 hectares. It is traditionally called "botanical garden" by Sanmenxia residents because of its numerous flowers and plants. "Cherry blossom in Guoguo Park" is the landscape feature of Guoguo Park since its opening in 2007. Because of its planting characteristics and growth habits, cherry blossoms in Guoguo park form a unique landscape with flower path, flowers like clouds and colorful fallen leaves.

Location context

Guoguo Park was formerly known as Guoguo botanical garden. In January 2000, Henan Provincial Institute of cultural relics and archaeology, together with the municipal cultural relics team, carried out a large-scale scientific archaeological excavation of lijiayou site, which is located two kilometers southeast of Guoguo cemetery. The buried shangyangcheng site, the capital of Guoguo, was discovered and later established as a provincial level II cultural relics protection area. Subsequently, the municipal government invested more than 60 million yuan to move all 150 villagers out of Lijiayao village, and built a local park on the site, which integrates leisure, entertainment and cultural relics protection, named Guo botanical garden, to implement permanent protection of the ancient city site. The park was renamed Guoguo Park in 2005 and opened free of charge from January 1, 2007.

In nearly 90% of the green space in the park, the tall and evergreen cedars, juniper, Ligustrum lucidum and Pinus tabulaeformis are full of green; the Manila lawn covering an area of 15 mu is fresh and open; the scattered peach, Shoutao, Hongye plum, yuyemei, tiegeng Begonia and rose are colorful. In particular, more than 1800 cherry trees of different varieties are planted along the main ring road, which adds a different charm to the park. Cherry blossoms bloom in April every year, like pink clouds, attracting visitors to linger "We have held four Cherry Blossom cultural festivals. Every spring, many tourists come to enjoy the flowers, take photos and visit the park. Cherry blossoms have become a highlight of Guoguo park." Mei Yi, director of Guoguo Park Management Office, said, "in the next step, we plan to continue to expand the variety and quantity of cherry trees, integrate cultural connotation, and strive to become a characteristic brand." In addition, in order to make the layout of the park more reasonable, on the premise of protecting cultural relics, the Guoguo Park excavated soil for the lake and piled soil for the mountain, and built hanbaiyu bridge and half dock Dyke on the lake, which separated the water surface into three parts: East, middle and West, planted weeping willows on the lake, built pavilions on the mountain, which made the landscape shining and scattered. After upgrading, the Guoguo park will be transformed or added with good people square, Guoyun landscape, Qinyin square, Changguo lake, recreation area, Guoguo chariots and horses, Shuxiang square, Yongquan lake, shangyanglou garden, Quyuan Fenghe, wenboxuan and other landscape areas.
