People's Park (simplified Chinese: 人民公园; traditional Chinese: 人民公園; pinyin: Rénmín Gōngyuán) is an urban public park in the city of Kashgar in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, western China. The 24-hectare (59-acre) park is one of the largest in Kashgar.[1]
Located in the center of Kashgar, south of the People's Square, People's Park is one of the main recreational places in the city. It has more than 26,000 trees [dubious – discuss] of more than 50 species, and 4,000 metres (13,000 ft) of trails. The park's facilities include an artificial lake, pavilions, a Uyghur-style cultural palace, children's playgrounds, orchards, a zoo, and a rollerskating rink. Admission is free.[1]
On the main thoroughfare outside People's Park stands a large statue of Mao Zedong, with a hand raised toward the park.[2]
