Location & How to Get There

Yichang World Peace Park sits along the banks of the Yangtze River in Wujiagang District, Yichang City, Hubei Province. It’s easy to reach by public transport—just take a taxi or bus to Yanjiang Avenue (the address translates to “Riverside Road”), and you’ll find the park right next to the water. If you’re driving, there’s a free parking lot entrance near the main gate.

Natural Scenery: Riverviews & Green Spaces

The park’s biggest draw is its riverside location. Walk along the paths, and you’ll see the wide Yangtze River flowing east, with mountains on the opposite bank. In spring, cherry blossoms and willow trees line the trails, making it feel like a peaceful escape. There’s also a waterfront promenade where you can watch ships pass by while enjoying the breeze. For photographers, sunset here is magical—the sky turns orange, and the river glows!

Cultural Highlights: Peace & Unity

As the name suggests, Yichang World Peace Park celebrates global harmony. You’ll spot statues and monuments dedicated to peace, like a giant bronze sculpture of doves (symbolizing freedom) and a “Peace Wall” covered in artwork from different countries. There’s also a friendship garden with plants gifted by foreign cities, showing how people connect across borders. Even if you’re not into history, the colorful designs and open spaces make it fun to explore.

Family-Friendly Amenities

The park is super tourist-friendly. Clean restrooms and drinking fountains are everywhere, and there’s a shaded picnic area with tables. For a snack, a small café sells ice cream and local snacks like spicy dried noodles. Parents will love the kid’s play zone with swings and a sandbox, while couples can rent paddleboats to drift on the river.

Unique Experiences: From Hiking to Events

If you’re active, try the mountain trail behind the park—it’s steep but rewards you with panoramic views. The path is well-marked, so you won’t get lost. During holidays, Yichang World Peace Park hosts festivals with dance performances and lanterns. I visited during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the river lit up with floating candles—it felt like a scene from a movie!

This spot isn’t crowded like big cities, so you can relax and enjoy nature. Whether you’re here for a quick photo op, a morning jog, or an afternoon picnic, the park has something for everyone. Just bring comfy shoes, sunscreen, and a camera—you’ll want to capture every view!
