Even though I personally wouldn't classify this park (Longtan Park) as a tourist attraction, since mainly locals were at the park, it's the best category available.

A not-so-long time ago (mid-1980s), I was born in Liuzhou City and upon returning to this park over the weekend, I recalled early childhood memories of visiting Longtan Park. Surprisingly, the Park itself hasn't changed too dramatically (unlike most things in China over the past 2 decades). The beautiful Lake remains beautiful. The children's dodgem cars and other 'theme park' rides remain. The people taking photos for their upcoming wedding(s) were present. But the thing that was different was the people (or lack of). When I was a young girl, people were everywhere, nowadays, it's a lot quieter. Maybe a sign of China's development. Regardless, the park is surprisingly large and quite nice, especially in an Industrial City.
