The River Viewing Pavilion (Wangjianglou) park is a lovely, historic place with forests of 100 varieties of bamboo! The yellow columns of bamboo with their thin green leaves cast wonderful shade and make a exquisite sound when the wind blows. The pavilion is more than 30 meters tall, overlooks the Jin River (Jinjiang), and was once the symbol of Chengdu. The pavilion itself was built in memory of Xue Tao, a Tang Dynasty female poet who loved bamboo and wrote many poems here. She reportedly drew water from a well that is also in the park grounds.

The park is in the southeast area of Chengdu, off Wangjiang Lu and with Sichuan University to the northwest.

Opening hours:6:00am-9pm daily
