Changchun Water Culture Ecological Park to open in October

The Changchun Water Culture Ecological Park is set to finish construction and open for free on Oct 1.

The park covers an area of 302,000 square meters, of which 89 percent is green space. "We made our maximum efforts in protecting the greenery of the place", said Fang Zhao, design manager of the project.

Modern facilities like a cafe, bookstore and workshops inside the park allow visitors to take some time and relax while enjoying the green landscape surrounding them.

As the historical site of the city's water purification plant, the park offers visitors a chance to enjoy the city's water culture and see a glimpse of bygone years in the city by preserving some old equipment and buildings.
