At Guiwan Park, the lush vegetation and unique intertidal scenery, along with the wild animals in the wetlands, drew the participants' attention. The group then proceeded to Qianhai Stone Park, where the "Qianhai Stone," engraved with the Chinese characters for Qianhai, stands as a symbol of Qianhai's transformation from a mudflat to a modern urban hub. Here, participants enjoyed the breathtaking scenery of Qianhai and felt the area's vibrant energy and immense potential.
As the sun began to set, casting golden rays across the sea, participants paused at the Qianhai Performing Arts Park, eagerly capturing the stunning sight with their phones.

He excitedly shared, "I love the beautiful parks, coastal scenery, and skyscrapers in Qianhai. I had great companions, and I shared various emotions with them. It's been an incredible experience!"
Other participants noted that Qianhai's natural landscapes and parks left a lasting impression on them. The beautifully landscaped parks not only provide ideal spaces for leisure and recreation but also demonstrate that Qianhai is a new urban center.
