If you prefer to avoid the crowds during the National Day holiday, consider gathering a few friends or taking your kids to a beautiful and tranquil park in TEDA. Set up a tent and enjoy some leisurely time, or cycle along the park’s greenways, appreciate the autumn scenery by the lakeside or along the Haihe River, and interact with birds and fish.

Taifeng Park, a large landscape park built on saline land, offers pleasant views year-round. In autumn, its blue skies, clear waters, gentle slopes, and vibrant foliage create picturesque scenery, making it an important spot for TEDA residents to enjoy the season and make camp. In recent years Caidai (Ribbon) Park and Binhe (Riverside) Park, built along the banks of the Haihe River, have become popular outdoor camping destinations, where visitors can enjoy the river’s beauty, visit coastal attractions like Chaoyin Temple, and watch the Haihe light show at night.

As a nationally recognized civilized city, Tianjin Economic-Technological Development Area has focused on ecological construction since its inception, investing heavily in regional green construction. This has resulted in the establishment of beautiful and special large themed parks such as Taifeng Park, TEDA City Park, TEDA Botanic Garden, Ziyun Park, Caidai (Ribbon) Park, and Binhe (Riverside) Park, along with numerous pocket parks, creating an ecosystem that allows residents to enjoy greenery right at their doorstep. In recent years, TEDA has continued to enhance its landscaping efforts. The first phase of Binhe (Riverside) Park near Tanggunan Station was completed this summer, and the renovated Ziyun Park and the Lake Park of TEDA Fashion Square have reopened with a fresh look. These efforts illustrate TEDA’s commitment to creating an ecologically livable environment.
