At around 11:00 noon on September 3, 2020, we came out of the Hengshui Lake Scenic Area, crossed the road, and arrived at the Garden Expo Park opposite. Garden Expo Park tickets are 60 yuan, half-ticket for those over 65 years old. When buying tickets, the conductor will tell you that many venues are not open, so you can do it according to your discretion.

The Garden Expo Park is located in the Binhu New District of Hengshui City, adjacent to Hengshui Lake and the Old Salt River, the old course of the Yellow River, with a planned total area of ​​254 hectares. The main park of the Garden Expo focuses on building 3 major buildings, 5 major areas, and 36 exhibition gardens, which focus on displaying Yanzhao garden landscape art.

The main attractions in the scenic area are the main exhibition hall, which takes the city flower "Peach Blossom" as the creative prototype, with a total construction area of ​​35,000 square meters, divided into two floors. Hold the Hengshui Planning Exhibition, the building height is 15 meters, and the height of the central landscape steel frame is 36 meters. After completion, the main exhibition hall is full of brilliance and beauty. It not only has strong local characteristics, but also is full of modern artistic beauty, giving people a beautiful visual impact and enjoyment. There is a welcoming square in front of the main exhibition hall.

The "five major areas" are theme parks, city parks, enterprise parks, county and city parks, and carnival parks. A total of 36 exhibition parks and 1 5D cinema will be built.

The theme park is located in the north of the park, and four theme exhibition gardens will be built, including "Peach and Plum Spring Breeze Garden", "Aquatic Botanical Garden", "Greenhouse Garden" and "Vegetable and Fruit Garden".

In the northwest of the park, there is an original ecological poplar forest, which has been built into a "forest oxygen bar". On the original 106 National Highway at the edge of the forest oxygen bar, a "characteristic flower street" was built.

All kinds of Garden Expo scenic spots are indeed huge in size and have a lot of attractions, but now they feel like abandoned scenic spots. At the gate of the scenic spot, there are few cars and horses in front of the gate, and there are hardly any tourists in sight. Entering the scenic spot, the main venue facing the gate is very magnificent. It is now the Hengshui History and Culture Expo Hall. I originally planned to visit it because there is no comprehensive museum in Hengshui City. But when I entered the venue, I was told that it was closed for renovation and not open to the public. I had to give up.

It is unbelievable that walking to other venues and parks, it is not that some venues are not open as the conductor said, but that all the venues have been abandoned and abandoned. What a crime, so many buildings have passed away for nothing in just two or three years , It feels too wasteful, such a good resource. We had no choice but to look at the exterior scene along the road and chat about interesting things.

Since we had no intention of lingering, we could only pass by in a hurry. In less than an hour, we walked out of the scenic spot, took the No. 18 bus on the side of the road outside the gate, and returned to the hotel in the city. After lunch, we took a short rest, took our luggage and rushed to Hengshui Railway Station. Take the K7710 train to Dezhou at 3:23 pm, and end the tour of Hengshui City. As far as Hengshui City is concerned, there are not many well-known scenic spots. As a city, just a glimpse of it is enough. What is commendable is that this city has a famous Hengshui High School, which ranks among the best in the country, which makes people look at it differently.
