Covering 238,000 square meters, Wuzhiba Forest Park in Guangming District connects Wuzhiba Park in Bao’an District. Residents can jog on a 650-meter-long trail for mild exercise, while hikers can try a 4-kilometer-long trail winding down the mountain and children can play with various facilities on a playground.

Appreciating blooming flowers while walking along the greenway, one can feel like being in a landscape painting. On a viewing platform on the mountaintop, one can overlook the entire park with lush trees and flowers.

With the “sponge city” concept, the park fully utilizes ecological grassed waterways, detention ponds and sunken green spaces to absorb, retain and slowly release rainwater, achieving urban management on flood control, water purification and water storage. The park’s parking lot is also installed with grass block pavers, an eco-friendly mixture of road and grass which encourage water infiltration and prevent rainwater runoff.
