During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Xiaoyaojin Park was a private garden of bureaucrats and landlords, and was naturally divided into two gardens, the east and west, by the water system.
There are many scenic spots in the park. The East Park is a youth activity area and a children's playground. It has a variety of entertainment facilities and is especially suitable for parent-child travel.
The West Garden is mainly plant-based, with Plum Blossom Hill, Peony Garden, Azalea Garden, etc., as well as various exotic flowers and plants, pavilions, etc.

2023.7.14 The two of us went to Xiaoyaojin Park at night. It is open to the public for free and has a good environment.
It is a large public park that is open to the public free of charge. There are also some amusement rides (which require additional payment) and a small museum. It is quite crowded.
The biggest feature of the park is that there is a lake in the park, an island in the lake, and a pavilion on the island.
Xiaoyaojin is now a park with a statue of Zhang Liao. It is still suitable for a walk.
As a recreational park for citizens, it is quite good. It is also along the lake. There is a small playground and Zhang Liao's tomb.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival in 2018, I went to Xiaoyaojin Park with my fellow villagers. It has become half an amusement park, and Zhang Liao’s deeds have been downplayed.
To be honest, it is a city park, no different from all the parks in other cities, except that Xiaoyaojin has a more famous name. There are monkey trainers at the gate, and the monkeys will hold on to your thighs and won't let go until you pay them, and no one cares.
It's OK. The most distinctive feature is that there are too many small children's amusement facilities.
Very good. The city scenery along the way is also very unique. A very tasteful street
If there weren't so many rides, I would think this park is nice, and the various rides take up a lot of space and are noisy. It's not the kind of park I like.
Regarding Xiaoyaojin, there is a very quiet place in the northwest, with secluded gardens, bonsai, and walls. If you go east, people will gradually hide. The Three Kingdoms ruins are being restored. I didn't ask about the specific time, but it shouldn't be very early. When you get to the lake, it's an amusement park with many amusement facilities. Because the photo is a bit large, many of them can't be worn, please forgive me
I don't think it's that good, and some parts of the park are still under construction. The children's play facilities are too big and too noisy. If it weren't for the tomb of Zhang Liao from the Three Kingdoms, there would be no trace of history at all.
A free park, a good place for daily leisure. If you live nearby, you can just stroll around. If you want to use it as a tourist attraction, it is really unnecessary.
There are a lot of people, and it's a bit noisy. . . . . . .
Xiaoyaojin Park is divided into East Park and West Park. It covers an area of 31.3 hectares, of which 11.2 hectares are water surface. The biggest feature is that there is a lake in the park, an island in the lake, and a pavilion on the island. There are three islands on the lake. There are bridges such as Dujin Bridge, Beijin Bridge, Nanjin Bridge, and Feiqi Bridge in the park that connect various scenic spots in the scenic area. These are all introductions from Baidu, but as a tourist, this free park is unremarkable. The style of Zhang Liao in the Three Kingdoms period has disappeared with the passage of time. The park has no characteristics. It may be a place for nearby residents to take a walk after dinner.
It's nice to relax and have fun, with beautiful scenery and many people.
It is a park for citizens to relax, and it is full of entertainment activities for children.
│Liao said: "You are on a long expedition. By the time reinforcements arrive, they will have already defeated us. So we should attack them before they can unite, break their momentum and calm their hearts. Then we can defend. The chance of success or failure lies in this battle. Why do you doubt it?"
Zhang Liao's Mighty Throne at Xiaoyaojin, I had only seen the title in novels before, and this part was often overlooked in TV dramas. I didn't expect there really was such a place. I checked in at the hotel, made some adjustments, and then hurried over to see what it was like.
When I got here, everything was very different from what I had imagined - General Zhang, who was supposed to be the most powerful general in China and galloping on the battlefield, was nowhere to be seen, and the ancient battlefield setting with armored soldiers was also gone. The scenery in front of me was full of colorful flowers and green trees, and only the thin firs and big palm trees that can only be seen in the south showed some upright temperament. I felt a little relieved.
There is a lake in the east of the garden, but the lights of the high-rise buildings behind it are still needed for the night view. Although there are some scattered lights, they lack a sense of hierarchy and are too small. Fortunately, the weather is good here - the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the magpies fly south, and there is another kind of quiet tenderness~
It's just a park. You can go and see it if you have time. You don't have to go there specially.
I saw Hefei again and got to know Xiaoyaojin for the first time. There was no Zhang Liao's sniping of Sun Quan's iron cavalry, only the joy and peace of the Spring Festival. Hefei, a city that combines classic and modern, will eventually unveil its once mysterious veil in the tide of development and opening up.
It feels like a more ordinary park, and there is even a children's playground.
As you enter the park, you will see a statue of Zhang Liao riding a horse. On the northwest side, there is a simple cenotaph of Zhang Liao, which seems to be gently telling the story of the war-torn years. Now, this is just a place for leisure and entertainment for local residents, and there is nothing special about it.
It's a very beautiful place. If you are changing trains in Hefei, you can come and have a look.
It's just a park, with an amusement park, an underwater world, and the Xiaoyao Pavilion or something. You need a ticket to get in, but I didn't go in to see it. I just walked around the park.
The four large gilded characters "Gu Xiaoyao Jin" were written by Lu Runxiang, the teacher of Emperor Xuantong Puyi, the No. 1 scholar in the Qing Dynasty.
Zhang Liao was so powerful that he was in Xiaoyaojin. It is a good place to cool off in summer.
The check-in location is free and there seem to be a lot of locals.
It's just a park, and no entrance fee is charged. It's very close to the Huaihe Pedestrian Street.
A big park with no entrance fee, it is considered an oxygen bar in the city, but some cultural centers are closed, so there is nothing to see.
The park is quite large, and you can stroll along the small woods on the side.
It's not worth visiting at all. It's just a park in a small fifth-tier county town, which is out of tune with the atmosphere of the provincial capital.
There are lots of green plants inside, and the natural oxygen bar is refreshing. The sunlight shines through, illuminating the people who are walking, boating, picnicking, and flying kites.
Although Xiaoyaojin is not very scenic, it is one of the most representative parks in Hefei and you can stop by to take a look.
I also went there with my boyfriend. We went there in spring. There were a lot of people. There were some attractions, but I didn't play them. But I think they were pretty good! We had a lot of fun.
Xiaoyaojin was a ferry on the Feishui River in ancient times. Now it is just an ordinary city park with not much to see.
Feeding pigeons and looking at the scenery is also a pleasant experience.
Arriving at Xiaoyaojin, one can no longer feel the tense atmosphere of war and battle at the ruins of the past.
We entered from the west gate. The wide sidewalk extended to pavilions nestled under shady old trees. Almost every few steps, we could hear the melodious sound of erhu coming from the pavilions and the rich voices floating in the wind. Different people were singing different tunes in the pavilions in different locations. The only thing in common was that we could feel everyone's love and devotion to music from the sound of the piano and the singing.
A free park, once a place for military deployment during the Three Kingdoms period. Now it is an amusement park. You can come and have a look if you have time.
No tickets are required, it is a good place for leisure, including Zhang Liao's Tomb, Cultural Center, Xiaoyao Pavilion, etc.
It used to be an ancient battlefield, but now it has become a park in the city. The small lake, Xiaoyao Pavilion and Changkong Bridge on the east side of the park are the most beautiful scenes. It is said that there is also a cenotaph of Zhang Liao on the small island.
In the city center, it has long been free. The story of Zhang Liao's mighty attack on Xiaoyaojin in the Three Kingdoms period is used as the cultural background. It was good 20 years ago, but now it is very noisy and people are shouting.
Located in the northeast corner of the old city of Hefei, it is a comprehensive park with cultural and historical characteristics, relatively complete facilities, beautiful environment and pleasant scenery. It is also a famous ancient battlefield in the Three Kingdoms period and one of the ten scenic spots in Hefei.
Suitable for walking. Some entertainment facilities are available and the price is not expensive.
It is just a public park, so tourists don't need to go there. There is the tomb of Zhang Liao inside, which is chargeable. Opposite Xiaoyaojin Park is the Mingjiao Temple on Huaihe Road.
Quite disappointing. If it were a park, it would be acceptable. But as a famous attraction in Hefei, it is quite a failure. The park has suddenly become a children's playground, with no historical charm at all.
Nothing much to play with, but the name sounds okay.
The "Three Kingdoms History Exhibition Hall" has been transformed into an animation VR experience hall, and the ticket price has risen to 60 yuan. As a Three Kingdoms fan, I decided to buy a ticket after a psychological struggle, but was "dissuaded" by the ticket seller. If there is enough profit motivation, will we even raze the tombs of our ancestors? Where are our cultural relics? Where is our history?
To be honest, it's just a park. There are monkey trainers at the entrance. They let the monkeys hold your legs and won't let go unless you pay. It's really annoying! Hefei is indeed a bit lacking in tourism resources!
I went there with my girlfriend. This was my second time. Actually, I didn't have much hope for it. I was just looking for my childhood memories after many years. Before entering the door, if you are across the street, you need to go through the underground passage. On the way, I was cheated by an aunt selling flowers. A paper flower cost me 10 yuan. After entering, there were a lot of people, especially couples. It may be because there are many college students in Hefei (one of the four major science and education centers in the country). Then, I was very happy to see that the elephant slide was still there. It should be the memory of many people. I went there on Saturday. There were still many people, children, old people, students, etc. I thought it was beautiful. I suggest you go and have a look. After all, it is an important attraction in Hefei. Of course, don't have too much hope for it. After all, like most attractions in the country, it is too commercialized.
Once a famous ancient battlefield during the Three Kingdoms period, now a park for people to relax
I thought I should go to this famous park when I go to Hefei. I entered from the west gate. When I entered, I saw a piece of green, and I felt refreshed instantly. I still like the west gate side, which is more green. The south gate area is full of entertainment facilities, which I don't like. When the sun is not enough in the afternoon, you can sit by the lake, blow the wind and look at the lake. It feels great.
Fortunately, there are many recreational facilities inside, mainly to see the tomb of Zhang Liao
Three days of self-guided tour in Hefei, the happy time felt like it was over in an instant, now I am back to work, I can calmly write about what I have seen and felt in these few days. Hefei first impressed me when it was mentioned in the crosstalk by Feng Gong and Niu Qun, guessing the city name by playing a riddle, two fat guys, it must be Hefei.
On the first day, I arrived in Hefei and took the bus for only 1 yuan. When the bus arrived at the station, the driver kindly reminded passengers that it was a bit crowded at the back and asked them to get off from the front door. I was not used to it. The drivers in Yichang would have closed the front door for you if you wanted to get off from the front door. On the afternoon of the first day, I took a walk in Xiaoyaojin Park, one of the three major scenic spots. It was really bustling. On a large lawn, some people were flying kites, and many college-looking students were skipping ropes. Some people laid out mats, and families were gathering to enjoy a leisurely and lazy time. Some people even set up small tents. Everyone was enjoying the beautiful spring and the warm sun.
In the evening, strolling along the Huaihe Road Pedestrian Street, there were so many beauties, haha, it was a feast for my eyes. It is no exaggeration to say that within 10 steps, you can see a tall young beauty. I specifically observed the high heels they wore. The heels were estimated to be only 3 or 4 centimeters, which was completely different from the women in Yichang who would wear 7 or 8 centimeters high heels at any time, haha. There were so many beauties that surprised me, and also made me envy the men in Hefei. They were not good-looking, but they were all with a beautiful woman. I went to the Butouweng Restaurant and ate two Chinese sturgeons, and went to the Sports City to buy 4 Nike and Puma. It was already past 10 o'clock in the evening, and I took a Didi Express back to the hotel. To be continued, please stay tuned!
The story of Zhang Liao's battle at Xiaoyaojin in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms took place here. It is a famous ancient battlefield. But now it has completely changed and has become a gathering place for small vendors. The park is full of children's amusement facilities. There is no trace of the former golden wars and waving flags. It's better not to go!
I searched for this attraction in Fengwo. To be honest, if you are traveling in Hefei, there is really no need to spend time to go there. It is no different from an ordinary park, and there are many things for children to do. However, it made me know that many historical celebrities have emerged in ancient and modern times, such as Bao Zheng, Cao Cao, Zhou Yu, Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Hongzhang, Liu Mingchuan, and Feng Yuxiang, all of whom are now Anhui people.
The site of Xiaoyaojin Garden was an ancient ferry on the Fei River.
The name of the garden comes from "Xiao Yao You" in "Zhuangzi".
It is an urban park of about 200,000 square meters and one of the ten scenic spots in Hefei.
Xiaoyaojin was an ancient ferry on the Feishui River.
There is a Feiqi Bridge and a Xijin Bridge, which were important external transportation routes for Hefei in ancient times.
Many tourists like to visit here during their day trip to Hefei.
It is indeed more representative and more suitable for taking photos.
If you don't put it in, just leave it for about two hours.
There are both a playground and a park in Xiaoyaojin Park.
I recommend the Xiaoyao Pavilion part.
Pavilions and terraces, with fallen leaves scattered all over the stone pavement
Still very beautiful
Xiaoyaojin is completely silent. Once an ancient battlefield, it is now a beautiful water pavilion. Although the cold and bleak winter is unavoidable, one can still imagine the lush greenery of spring and summer.
It feels like a street park, there are no historical sites, and the Three Kingdoms Museum has become a place for game experience. It is really nice to go outing in spring. It is the first time I see white magnolia, it is so beautiful.
The free park has many children's amusement facilities and is a childhood memory for many Hefei people.
This place is particularly not recommended. Apart from the name, it has completely lost its historical significance.
Xiaoyaojin Park in the northeast was once the battlefield where Zhang Liao fought against Xiaoyaojin during the Three Kingdoms period. Now there is Zhang Liao's tomb in the park. You can go boating on the lake. Xiaoyaojin Park is very close to Huaihe Road Pedestrian Street, which is the most prosperous commercial pedestrian street in Hefei. On the road are Li Hongzhang's former residence and Mingjiao Temple.
Across the Huaihe Road Pedestrian Street, it is said to be an important battlefield during the Three Kingdoms period. It is now a park with roller coasters and other amusement facilities.
Xiaoyaojin Park is also a good place to enjoy flowers. Flowers bloom all year round. Jiaonutai is a military fortress built by Cao Cao.
Xiaoyaojin is a famous ancient battlefield during the Three Kingdoms period. It is one of the three major scenic spots and historical sites in Hefei, one of the ten scenic spots in Hefei, and also the scenic spot with the longest opening time and the longest history in Hefei. It exceeded expectations and is worth a visit!
Xiaoyaojin, also known as "Douchi" and "Douyachi", was a ferry on the Feishui River in ancient times. Xiaoyaojin is located in the northeast corner of the old city of Hefei. Xiaoyaojin is an urban park of about 200,000 square meters and one of the ten scenic spots in Hefei.
I remember that the scene was the same when I came to Xiaoyaojin 20 years ago. There was no change, no surprise. The infrastructure of the amusement facilities inside scared me even more.
The pirate ship is still the same pirate ship as it was 20 years ago, except for a few more rust marks. The Motianlun is still the Ferris wheel as it was 20 years ago, except for a few more creaking sounds. The boats that can be played in the river are still the same boats as they were 20 years ago. Don't ask me how I know this, I remember the duck-shaped boat, I've ridden it before. The amusement park still has the game of throwing rings and hitting balloons, with simple facilities, shabby shouting, and pictures of a big stage in a town.
There aren't many cultural relics and historical sites in Hefei, and it's disappointing that the few that are there are still in such a state.
The air was even better once we entered Xiaoyaojin. There were many trees inside, and there was a moat running through it, with a large lake inside. Away from the noise of vehicles outside, there were not many people inside because it was raining, and it was very comfortable to walk along the way.
If you go to Xiaoyaojin Park, please go see the cats. Bring some cat food. Forgive me for not being able to resist cats. To show that I'm here, I'm a foodie. Why didn't I write about food?
We had some snacks for lunch at the pedestrian street, and in the afternoon we went to the nearby Xiaoyaojin Park. The park is very large and has many entertainment projects. Under the guidance of Yuyu, we experienced the park's unique "feeding fish with a bottle". I have to say that the boss is really creative, 10 yuan a bottle of fish food, the number of people was very high, and Yuyu and I had a lot of fun. Because we had to catch the train, we took a taxi to Hefei South Railway Station at around 3 o'clock.
It's just an ordinary big park with a lake. Look at the number of cruise ships parked by the lake. I guess this park makes money mainly from cruise ships. Xiaoyao Pavilion looks quite interesting from the outside, but when I walked in, I found out they were selling jewelry and souvenirs. I felt very disappointed. The supporting facilities in the park are also very strange. They are all very old amusement facilities that have nothing to do with the theme of the park. There is a big billboard under the statue of Zhang Liao, which completely blocks the stone tablet under the statue of Zhang Liao. If this is the case, why pretend to have the Three Kingdoms cultural theme?
It's a free park, but there are some paid attractions inside. However, if you just want to stroll around or rest for an afternoon, you don't need to go to those paid attractions.
It's OK. The scenery is OK.
But our parks in Fujian are more beautiful
Not far from Li Hongzhang's former residence, the park has nice scenery!
The historical legend of Xiaoyaojin Park is greater than its real existence. The battlefield of the Three Kingdoms no longer exists. Only Baidu search is left. Xiaoyaojin Park is now a large park, a place for city residents to exercise and play. I can't say I regretted it, but there was nothing unexpected. The current commercial sense has washed away the memory of history. Perhaps the wheel of history will make it disappear. But history is in front of us, and we can't forget it.
Gu Xiaoyaojin is a free park in Hefei, and it is also a representative one. It is very close to Li Hongzhang's former residence and Huaibei Road Pedestrian Street. We entered the park from one gate and exited from another gate. The gate is still quite retro. In fact, there is not much difference between it and other parks. The only representative one is Xiaoyao Pavilion. The first floor is for selling things, and the second floor and above are for visiting, but no one goes in to visit. Most of them just walk around the park and end. There is also the Three Kingdoms History Museum, which is not open. Going inside are some amusement facilities, which are almost all landmark parks have. Because I have played a lot, I am not very interested. Looking at some interesting scenes, it is suitable for taking pictures, strolling when you are free, and suitable for couples to stroll and date. The transportation is very convenient. It belongs to the center of Hefei, and many buses go directly to the entrance of Xiaoyaojin Park.
Xiaoyaojin was a ferry in ancient times, and the word "Xiaoyao" comes from Zhuangzi's "Xiaoyaoyou". During the Three Kingdoms period, Wei general Zhang Liao defeated the Eastern Wu with a small force and shocked Xiaoyaojin, which added a lot of color to this place. Xiaoyaojin is now a park and one of the ten scenic spots in Hefei. One of the highlights in the park is Xiaoyao Pavilion, and another is Zhang Liao's tomb. Looking at Xiaoyao Pavilion in the mist from a distance, does it look like a Chinese ink landscape painting?
