Worth the walk past the TV and radio tower to this little park, if you have awhile in Chengdu. You can walk through the whole park in 15 min. "Live-water" means that there is a stream that runs through the park, over round stones. Children were playing in the water and adults were taking music lessons. Made us forget we were in the middle of a giant Chinese metropolis, even if only for a few minutes.

This is a small park cleverly tucked along a sliver of Chengdu between main roadway and water way. It's a lovely spot to wander through, especially with young ones, though I don't recommend a stroller here. Kids we saw came armed with butterfly nets, fishing nets, water guns, and bubble wands. Locals also seem to gather here for games and picnics, so you can take in a bit of people watching and gain a sense of Chengdu life. Entry is free to the public.
