People's Park

People's Park, Urban park in central Ürümqi, China.

People's Park is a long, narrow public park in the Saybag District of Ürümqi, stretching about 1 km north to south and 250 m east to west, with 96% green coverage. Its centerpiece is Jian Hu (Mirror Lake), a straightened lake on the former course of the Ürümqi River. The park holds the two-story Huxin Pavilion on the lake, the Danfeng Chaoyang Ge hall on the south bank, and the Lan Yuan memorial garden with a stele corridor of 110 poems by Ji Xiaolan.

It was established in 1912 when Governor Yang Zengxin converted the Jian Hu area into a public space for residents. This transformation built upon earlier developments in the region that dated back to the mid-1700s.

This public space serves as a gathering point where residents participate in traditional practices such as tai chi and group dancing. These daily activities shape the social rhythm and make it an important center for community life.

It opens to visitors from early morning until late evening with no entrance fee required. The main entrance is located on Youhao South Road, making it easy to find.

The park's oldest surviving structure is not the Xiuye Pavilion but the lakeside pavilion Zhang Yinhuan funded in 1899 after his exile for backing the Hundred Days' Reform; it still stands in the middle of Jian Hu. The Dragon King Temple built on the lake was closed after 1949 and turned into a cultural palace, its front gate kept as a memorial to the scholar-poet Zhang Jingchou.
