Baiyun Lake Park, once known primarily for its serene waters and scenic walking paths, has recently undergone an all-around upgrade, emerging as a vibrant, multi-functional recreational hub dubbed the "happy planet" by both locals and visitors.

The park, home to the largest artificial lake in Guangzhou's city center, now offers over 13 kilometers of waterfront and lakeside greenways, ideal for cycling, jogging, and leisurely strolls. It has also gained recognition as one of the city's best sunset-viewing spots, with the landmark Baiyun Pavilion providing a perfect vantage point.

New attractions cater to diverse interests: the adventurous Jungle Exploration Park with 14 challenge courses; the Yunhu Fun Paradise featuring amusement rides like pirate ships and go-karts; a spacious 1,720-square-meter children's sand playground; and SUP paddleboarding at the Dragon Boat Dock. Visitors can also enjoy immersive lake tours on self-driving electric boats or traditional painted vessels.

For those seeking relaxation, Lakeside Camp offers tents and mobile cabins by the water and regularly hosts music festivals against the lake's picturesque backdrop.

With these upgrades, Baiyun Lake Park has evolved into a full-day destination for all ages, inviting residents and tourists to explore its natural beauty and expanded range of activities.
