Wenbita Park, featuring beautiful natural scenery and various historic sites, adds a touch of poetic beauty to the city and presents a vibrant summer scene.

Located in Tongan district, Xiamen, southeast China’s Fujian Province, the park has become quite attractive to tourists and residents for the blossoms of flowers, the vast lotus pond and the ancient paths.

It is also renowned for the Wenbi Tower. Built in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), this solid stone tower stands as the largest existing ancient stone pagoda in Tongan district.

The harmonious integration of the stunning natural scenery and the historic sites makes Wenbita Park a cultural landmark of Tongan district, as well as a vital link between the past and the present.
