Not easy to find - the route off G1 with the huge signs is currently blocked off. Seems like the road hasn't caught up with the highway signage.We got there via HeiShan City, North on G102 then east on 211 (look for small brown signs), through JiangTun and look for small brown sign on the left (north) and look out for the rock with the red characters. The drive through farmland after the corn harvest was full of interesting sights. Donkey carts, ox carts, corn processing compounds, barrels of corn cobs and mountains of stripped corn cobs and leaves. The park itself was a peaceful place with lotus pond (no flowers in October) and a series of reservoirs for fishing and boating.Off season it was very quiet with no ticket office visible and no shop or restaurant open. From the rough paths around the fishing dams, we could see the corn harvesters with their ox carts. A number of fisherman with their cars parked nearby. Could probably bring fishing gear and someone might come by and sell you a fishing ticket. And suitable for kids to ride bikes around after a longish car trip.
