Guangzhou Cultural Park, Urban park in Liwan District, China.

Guangzhou Cultural Park covers 8.3 hectares near the Pearl River in Liwan District, with 1.55 hectares of greenery. Its grounds hold a large open-air square, a central stage, exhibition halls, an aquarium, a dolphinarium, an ice rink, a chess hall, a cinema and a playground, plus a section of reconstructed antique-style garden buildings.

The park occupies ground left as rubble by Japanese air raids on Guangzhou during the War of Resistance. In 1952 a venue for the South China Local Products Exhibition was built on the ruins, renamed the Lingnan Cultural Palace the same year. In 1956 it took the name Guangzhou Cultural Park, modelled on Gorky Park in the Soviet Union, and became the first park in China named for culture.

The park hosts three annual exhibitions: the Spring Festival flower fair, the Mid-Autumn lantern fair and the Yangcheng chrysanthemum fair. Its name dates from 1956, when it was renamed after the Gorky Culture Park in the Soviet Union, making it the first park in China named for culture.

The park is open throughout the day and can be reached by several bus lines serving the area. Visiting on quieter days helps you enjoy the courtyards and sculptures without heavy crowds.

The park opened in 1952 on ground cleared by Japanese bombing during the war, first as a venue for a South China local-products fair; it was renamed Lingnan Cultural Palace the same year and took its present name in 1956, modelled on Gorky Park in the Soviet Union. It is described as the first park in China named for culture.
