There are two "pocket parks" on a small road, which are good places for neighborhood residents to relax and walk.

Riding the wave of Xiangshan Revolutionary Memorial Museum's planning and construction, the former bus terminal and abandoned slopes turned into a "pocket park" of the "urban idyll", where there is not only hustle and bustle but also "poetry and distance".

Although winter has arrived, the cypress and bamboo in the small park are still verdant, and together with scattered plants and landscapes, its beauty please let go of your imagination!

Public toilets and red culture pioneer volunteer posts are planned among them, making the small park a "practical pocket" suitable for meeting the needs of the masses, nature, and humanity, and raising the happiness of the masses.

Xiangshan Street is famous for "red culture", and the "Party Building Red" also plays an important role in these two small parks. Various red elements such as the party-building publicity column and the oath to join the party make the party-building culture melt into the scene and facilitate the people.
