Located in the Quanzhou Taiwanese Investment Zone in East China's Fujian province, the Maritime Silk Road Ecological Park is a vital component of Quanzhou's Ecological Continuous Belt, serving as an example for similar efforts across the nation.

Harnessing the natural topography of mountains and waterways, the park weaves green pathways that seamlessly link forests, water bodies, wetlands, and farmlands, crafting an interconnected ecological system.

The Baiqi Lake Ecological Continuous Belt achieves multiple objectives: blending mountains, water, forests, and farmlands into urban landscapes, repurposing agricultural areas into scenic havens, and harmonizing existing resources to sustain agricultural activities.

Emphasizing the park's commitment to preserving local ecology, visitors are treated to a serene environment that showcases the park's water systems alongside picturesque landscapes of mountains, fields, fish ponds, and wetlands, offering a delightful setting to relax and explore.

Moreover, the park plays host to periodic events like the Sunflower Festival and Windmill Festival, presenting the park's stunning vistas and cultural experiences to a global audience.

Adopting a so-called "one corridor, four zones, multiple scenic spots" structure, the park embodies a vision of harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature.

The "one corridor" refers to the Baiqi Lake water system ecological pathway, while the "four zones" refer to the mountain-water-farmland display area, sponge city display area, countryside scenery display area, and orchard-lotus pond display area. Among the many scenic spots is the mesmerizing Baiqi Lake, which is a great place to watch the sun set.
