South Lake Park

This is a major receration and ecologicalparkland in Tangshan. It is one of the largest artifical lakes in Asia, formed in part by flooded coalmines. It is well worth a visit if you like peaceful walks and plants. Many local people go there and are friendly to foreigners. It is too big to walk around, so exploring small parts on foot, or using bicycles may be options. South Lake Park is actually several lakes, and a main road seperating the main parts. There is a hill in the south of the northern part, worth a climb for the view.

    A city magnet for leisure
    I like the picturesque lake and enjoyed listening to my tour guide about the stories of the park and the city. It has a large water space and several artificial islands scattered in it. A set of graphs and photos displayed by the lake tell that it was amazingly transformed from a large debris-dumping site and a coal-mine sinking area. Surprisingly, there were fewer visitors to the park than I expected and even fewer high-rise buildings around the lake like other big cities. there could have been more scenic spots around the lake to attract more city dwellers.

    Beautiful city park
    We spent an afternoon in the park in July 2014. It was very hot--over 40 C--and there weren't many people around. We didn't see any other tourists. A few people were fishing. But there are bikes and boats to rent, plenty of canteens for drinks, ice cream and snacks, and interesting trees and plants. Generally a very peaceful place with many opportunities for relaxation, conversation or contemplation. I would not go to Tangshan for just this attraction (we were visiting a friend) but it is a fine place to visit if one is in this smoggy city.
