Taiziwan park is located in the southwest corner of the West Lake, under the litchi peak of Nanping mountain. According to the records of zhuangwen, the royal family of the Southern Song Dynasty, the two princes of Jingxian were buried here. Taizi Bay was originally a lake bay, which was scoured by mountains, wind and rain, and silted up into swamps and depressions. It is a large-scale park with idyllic charm and wild mountain scenery.

Historical evolution

The name of Taiziwan began in the Southern Song Dynasty. At that time, it was a shallow bay in the south corner of the West Lake. In the Song Dynasty, the waterfront was the burial place for the two princes, Zhuang Wen and Jing Xian, so huwan got its name.

Taiziwan Park was built in July 1988 and was basically completed in 1989. It is the earliest wedding Park in Hangzhou, with "loyalty" and "flying together". It used to be the accumulation site of dredged sludge in West Lake. When the garden was built, it was skillfully dug pools and built slopes to make the terrain ups and downs, and to pursue the personality of "natural simplicity".

Park layout

The total area of Taiziwan park is 1200.45 mu. The whole garden is divided into three scenic spots: East, middle and West, separated by Garden Road and waterway. The Eastern scenic spots are wangshanping, yileyuan, etc. Wangshanping is a large lawn with broad surface and wide vision. It can not only overlook the green mountains, but also lie down or play on the grassland. In Nanrui, there is a Tai Chi Round pavement made of light red and gray black polished stones. The emerald garden is adjacent to each other. The hills are covered with magnolia, Michelia, cherry and other ornamental plants. The lower layer is lined with Hydrangea, Pyracantha fortuneana and perennial flowers. The shadow of the flowers shines on the eyes and the fragrance is refreshing.

Taiziwan park is adjacent to Jiuyao in the south, two mountains in Nanping in reality, Jingci temple in the East, xiaoyoutianyuan, Zhang cangshui and Zhang Taiyan's graveway in the west, the south peak in the west, and Nanping Road in the north. With mountains (Jiuzhuo and Nanping) as the screen, water (open channel) as the vein, mountains and barriers surrounded by water, the charm of Taiziwan park is vivid, and "congenitally" it is extraordinary.

Taking an open channel of the West Lake water diversion project as the main line, the park is a fresh and pleasant scenic spot with pools of accumulated water, waterfalls formed by river closure, islands formed by surrounding water and bridges built across water. It makes the traditional Chinese gardening art and Modern Garden Aesthetics reach a harmonious unity, and forms such scenic spots as pipizhou, feicui garden, xiaoyaopo, Yulu pool, Yile garden, taijiping, etc.

There are thousands of Japanese cherry trees in the park. They are in full bloom in the middle of March. It is now a famous wedding Park and tulip exhibition site.

Wangshanping is a large lawn with broad surface and wide vision. It can not only overlook the green mountains, but also lie down or play on the grassland. In Nanrui, the big lawn, there is a Tai Chi Round pavement made of light red, gray and black polished stones. Its diameter is about 10 meters. Visitors can practice boxing and dance in the morning and sing and entertain in the night. The central scenic spots are Pipa island and feicui garden. Pipa island is high and uplifted, and the beicui garden is adjacent to each other. The hills are covered with magnolia, Michelia, cherry and other ornamental flowers and trees. The lower layer is lined with Hydrangea, Pyracantha fortuneana and perennial flowers. Most of the scenery here is in autumn. The essence of Taiziwan park lies in the use of the water diversion project and the reconstruction of the open channel to form a variety of water bodies, which makes the park vivid and flexible. In the garden, there are dozens of large bends, and there are no less than ten bifurcations and aggregations. The waterways either go with the road, or around the hills, or lay flat like a moor, twists and turns, gathering and scattering. On both sides of the channel, the natural gentle slope extends into the water, and some rocky rocks and ridges are randomly dotted, high or low, leaning or side, broken or continued. The riverside slope is densely planted with perennial flowers and aquatic plants, which are full of wild interest. Six or seven small bridges built with the blanks of Picea lanceolata have different shapes and structures. They stand across the water. They not only connect the garden roads on both sides, but also are excellent scenic spots. From Pipa island to the south, the sound of water is getting louder and louder. When straight on a small wooden arch bridge, but listen to the water under the bridge singing, running and jumping. Then, there is a stone arch bridge leaping above the water wave. From the stone bridge to the water diversion workers and the outlet, the clear wave gushes to the cross sill in front of the pier, and suddenly falls down. The sound of roar is heard all the time, which makes people feel like the living water source of the waterfall in the deep valley. With the popularity of camera and video equipment, Taiziwan Park, with its beautiful scenery and auspicious name, has become a place for Hangzhou newlyweds to make wedding videos. Wild and fashionable, it forms a moving new picture of the West Lake.

Wedding theme

On the basis of Chinese traditional landscape architecture, the park has absorbed the cheerful and elegant artistic treatment of Western Gardening, which is full of natural and natural artistic interest. The environment of the park is suitable for holding western style weddings, such as "loyalty" and "flying together".

The whole process of the wedding begins with the joyful music "Wedding March". The bride embraces flowers, walks hand in hand with the groom across the bridge, walks on an open lawn, and then comes to a Wedding Church. At this time, the bride and bridegroom walk on the red heart-shaped carpet, floating in the colorful paper. The bride and bridegroom hold the ribbon, stand up, and then sit at the round table. The etiquette lady presents a large bottle of champagne and red wedding stickers to invite the new couple to have a drink together. At the end of the ceremony, the new couple took a sedan chair to the forest cabin, worshipped heaven and earth, and held the wedding ceremony. After that, the new couple took a carriage around the winding path to enter the western style garden. In the garden, the new couple drank a wedding with their accompanying relatives and friends, and the whole western style wedding ended here.

In order to add a festive and romantic atmosphere, the park creates a love column, love post office and other landscapes.

When visiting the beautiful scenery of Taiziwan Park, I was surprised to find that: in Taiziwan Park, I can have wireless internet access and enjoy wireless broadband.

It turned out that as early as June 2008, Hangzhou scenic spots Management Committee learned that Hangzhou was carrying out the construction of wireless urban broadband network. Through the cooperation of Taiziwan Park renovation headquarters and Huashu digital TV company, it planned the project of Huashu wireless broadband network covering Taiziwan park. After nearly 10 months of construction, the pilot project was opened on March 20, 2009 The park is open to the public and tourists.
