In the lush early summer of Jinhua in Zhejiang province, Chishan Park emerges as a popular destination for locals and tourists alike, offering a serene setting for walks, exercise, and exploration.

As a comprehensive hilly ecological park within the city's central area, Chishan Park spans 465,000 square meters, with 310,000 sq m dedicated to greenery and 47,000 to water features, making up 77 percent of its total area.

The park's most striking feature is its undulating hills and intersecting valleys, preserving the original red rock mountain landform. This natural wilderness makes it a haven for those seeking to connect with nature.

In recent years, Jinhua has focused on enhancing and upgrading parks, shifting from merely increasing the number to improving their quality and integrating their functions. This initiative aims to enrich the "15-minute living circle", where greenery is visible within 300 meters and a park within 500 meters, becoming a staple of urban life.
