The construction of the Weiling Park began in 1999, with a planned land area of more than 730,000 square meters, which involves collective land of four joint-stock companies of local residents.

Yet, due to the lack of land, the construction of the park had been delayed several times.

To resolve this historical issue, the Luohu authorities set up a special work team to coordinate efforts of three sub-district offices in Dongxiao, Donghu, and Cuizhu. After more than three months of hard work, the special work team finally paved the way for the park’s land-use contract signing ceremony.

The person in charge of the Dongxiao sub-district office said that it is hoped that the park will become a green island in the center of Luohu, benefiting the nearly 300,000 residents living nearby and making the area a model of green development, featuring the integration of city and industry development, so as to contribute to the sustainable development of Luohu.

Lu Jinpao, a deputy of the 8^th Luohu People’s Congress, the district’s legislature, said he always pushed accelerating Weiling Park’s construction in recent years, and through taking part in the contract signing ceremony, he felt the significance that the Luohu and Dongxiao authorities attach to local residents. He hopes that the Weiling Park can have its own characteristics and become a must-see attraction in the district in the future.
