History
[edit]The park was established in July 1931 as Dragon Spring Park (Longquan Park) on Reclining Dragon Hill (Wolong Gang), a sacred site connected with some shrines. In 1950, the new People's Republic of China government renewed the area and renamed it People's Park.[1][2] The park's name was changed again in June 1997 to Qingcheng Park.[1]
