People's Park
One of the eight old scenic spots in Nanning, People's Park is located in the east of the city. The park's White Dragon Lake ripples with clear water.
According to historical records, a general called Di Qing in Song Dynasty who led his soldiers to live here, once saw a flock of white sheep that grazed along the shores of the lake. The silhouette of the flock reminded him of a dragon writhing along the waters, so he named the lake White Dragon Lake.
With thousands of red carp breeding in the lake, it attracts countless visitors to appreciate the darting fish. The entire scenery of the city can be seen when you climb to the highest point of the park-Wangxian Hill On the top of the hill is the Zhenning Cannon Platform built in the early years of the Republic. The ancient cannon made by Germans in 1890 has become part of the park scenery. In addition, there is a large botanical garden gathering plants of tropical and subtropical zones.
