Xiamen Railway Cultural Park

Running for nearly five kilometers from Wenping Road to Heping Dock, the Railroad Culture Park was part of the extension line of Xiamen-Yingtan Railway, but, for several reasons, it lay deserted for more than 50 years. In 2011, the government decided to turn this abandoned railway into a park to show to the public the culture of railways. The old rail has been preserved. Kids can walk along a real railroad while grown-ups can rest assured no trains will come along. The park is popular with local joggers and dog-walkers, and frequent benches designed to look like stations and water fountains offer resting points along the way.
