Wetland restored into biggest park in Yichang

Juanqiaohe River is a branch of the Yangtze River in Yichang City. After years of silting up, new land was formed along the river and many poultry farms occupied this space. Though these farms boosted local economic growth, the environment was damaged.

In recent years, as Yichang City undertook a new policy to recover local ecological environment, it decided to restore this area into a public park. After three years of construction, Juanqiaohe Wetland Park opened to the public before the National Day holidays in 2022. Covering 2,670 mu (179 hectares), the park is at the crossroad of Dianjun Road and Dianjun No.1 Road, Dianjun District.
