High-pressure urban life makes people crave a moment of relaxation in the serene rural side.

The Datang ecological park in Qiandeng is well-positioned to take in tired souls seeking healing.

At the park, thatched lodges and archaic buildings are set between the blue sky and lush trees. Clear water attracts birds, which are often seen standing at ease in shallow waters. Railed corridors and sheltered stands along the ponds allow anglers to try to fish.

Nurseries fitted out with modern technologies produce vegetables and fruits all year round. Now, a crop of corn, pumpkins, and colored peppers are ripe and fresh, waiting for harvest.

A glass restaurant offers picturesque views and delicious meals. The food served all come from the park's organic farms.
