Poetry Wall Park

Poetry Wall Park

Changde is known as the hometown of cultural relics. In recent years, the state has invested 108 million yuan to build a poetry wall with a 2.92 km long flood control wall as the carrier, which aims to carry forward Chinese traditional culture and strengthen patriotic education, and is named "China Changde Poetry Wall". The Poetry Wall is a collection of contemporary Chinese famous poets' poems, calligraphy and fine arts, which are engraved on one wall. It is known as the world's longest art wall of poetry, calligraphy, painting and engraving, and has won the "Guinness top". Located on the outside of Yuanshui flood control wall in Changde City, China Changde Poetry Wall is the main landscape of Yuanjiang scenic belt of "three mountains and three rivers", covering an area of about 14000 square meters.

Development history

Changde Poetry Wall is a large-scale cultural project with distinctive artistic characteristics, which was built in 1991 by Changde Municipal Party committee and municipal people's government with the flood control dike of Yuanjiang River as the carrier.

In 2000, Changde Municipal Party committee and people's government implemented the "Shiqiang, Bund, Yuanshui echelon development" plan, relocated Shiqiang Bund sand and gravel field, demolished all the original buildings, and elaborately built Shiqiang park. After three years of construction, it has formed a six li long scenic belt. More than 130 kinds of trees, such as gingko, Cinnamomum camphora, willow and banyan, are planted in the park, with more than 60000 square meters of water-resistant grass skin. Various scenic spots and Wuling wonders are dotted in the park. On the wall of poetry, there are four Pavilions: Wuling Pavilion, Chunshen Pavilion, paiyun Pavilion and fisherman Pavilion. They are not only the gate of flood control, but also add profound cultural heritage to the ancient city. The wall of poetry and the park are antique. On weekdays, there is an endless stream of tourists. With the fall of night and the beginning of the morning, this place is full of tourists, and is praised as the first leisure place by Changde people.
