Yingze Lake Garden, named after its location outside the Yingze Gate of ancient Taiyuan City, was established in 1954.
Located in the middle section of Yingze Street, it has convenient transportation. The park covers a total area of 666,900 square meters, with Yingze Lake occupying one third of the total area. The park is divided into six functional areas: cultural and leisure area, science popularization area, amusement and entertainment area, management area, production area, and children's activity area.
Originally, there was no lake in Yingze Park.
However, following the relevant department's guideline that "a park cannot be without water," the excavation of the lake began during the initial construction in 1954!
In 1955, a five-arch bridge was built in the lake.
