Coal Mountain Cultural Heritage Park
Walk to the Coal Mountain Cultural Heritage Park. Explore the Xia Dynasty Cultural Site Exhibition Area and the Tai Chi Square. It is a good time to observe the morning exercises before the crowds arrive.

Head to the Qide Parent Child Park. Even if you are not with children, the non-powered facilities like the rainbow slides offer a unique visual landscape. The park is spacious enough to find a quiet corner to rest.
Local tip
The parks are open all day. For the most peaceful experience, visit the Coal Mountain site early in the morning. The Cui Ji Guokui shop is best visited before noon when the pastries are freshly baked and warm.
