Taizigang rainwater garden becomes popular spot for locals

The recently-completed Taizigang Rainwater Garden in Yangzhou, Jiangsu province has quickly become a new visitor hotspot.

Located on the west side of the Songjiacheng scenic area, the garden is in close proximity to the north gate of Slender West Lake Park, Daming Temple, and Tang City, all popular tourist attractions.

Spanning approximately 14.9 hectares, the garden boasts lush vegetation and a high green coverage rate, with large areas dedicated to preserved forest land. Additionally, ancient architectural relics can be found in some parts of the northern section of the garden.

The garden is thoughtfully designed with a variety of features. Visitors can enjoy nature and leisurely activities on forest trails and riverside promenades, while also exploring unique attractions like the Taizigang archaeological site.

Designed with a circular pathway, the garden also features crisscrossing secondary paths that connect to the main trail. By wandering through these paths and choosing different routes, visitors can experience a variety of scenic views.

On the eastern side of the park, near Baozhang Lake, a winding lawn ditch paved with cobblestones has been constructed. This design not only allows it to serve as a reservoir for rainwater to be used for greening but also functions like a sponge, collecting surface runoff and filtering rainwater effectively.
