Picture of Xiaoyaojin Park
Owning much historical significance as a Three Kingdoms (220-265) era battlefield, Xiaoyaojin (also known as Leisure Ford Park) is Hefei's largest park.
History records that Sun Quan, who later went on to become the King of Wu, and his 100,000 troops suffered a humiliating defeat on the ground of Xiayaojin at the hands of Wei general Zhang Liao and his 7,000-odd soldiers.
In its current form, Xiaoyaojin Park, located in northeastern Hefei, houses a small zoo, a small bonsai forrest, a rare Chinese plants area, several rockeries, model versions of traditional Chinese buildings and a statue of Zhang Liao mounted on his war steed.
