Photo TR: Xiaoxiang Park in Yongzhou, Hunan, China (11/5/17)

November 5, 2017: Xiaoxiang Park in Yongzhou, Hunan, China

Xiaoxiang Park is located in the city of Yongzhou. It is the biggest park in the city and has a temple, water park (with a wavepool) and two areas of amusement rides. One of the rides areas is apparently defunct. As this ride area has a kiddie coaster of the type that has only appeared on the scene in the last few years, it is not a good sign that it is already closed. This particular area was closed off to the public, but I was able to get a photo of the coaster thanks to an opening in trees. This became coaster #396 for me to find before ACE or RCDB.

The second area of rides is in the northern part of the park. Most of the rides are kiddie rides, but there is a jungle mouse here. It is like many others I have ridden. It is one of the 396 coasters I have found. It became coaster #1105 for me to ride and Xiaoxiang Park became park #561 for me to visit.

I will make a quick visit to Xiaoxiang Park this morning.

They have a waterpark here, but it is closed for the season.

There is a big wavepool here.

A small section of amusement rides is apparently defunct. It has this kiddie coaster with spinning cars.

This temple is located in the middle of the park.

There is another section of amusement park rides. This section has a mouse coaster.

That is a wave swinger in front of the lifthill of the coaster.

Other than the coaster, the only other real adult sized ride here is the pirate ship.

The minature Ferris wheel is one of the may kiddie rides here.

Back to the coaster, I see so many of these...

Here is another look at the mouse.

Here is the mouse in action to finish the TR.

Wow. Nothing about that park looks appealing. The closed for the season water park looks abandoned and neglected, as well as the one operating ride side. Pretty depressing looking.

It's very wierd, looking at the photos of the mouse, with all the disassembled flat rides (I assume?)

in piles, surrounding it. Looks like they're there to actually be put together, but obviously not. Very creepy.

Hope you got shots of some kind, for touring around there. "Just in case."

Actually, much of the park, away from the rides and water park was very clean. The water park has been closed for a couple of months, but does have a nice gate, which I did not get a photo of. I think the park is undergoing renovation. Maybe in a year or so, it will be much nicer.

I never knew that Conneaut Lake had a sister park in China.

It is funny that you say that as I was thinking of Conneaut when I was at Xiaoxiang.
