Known forAsian sideprotected naturecommunity parkwoodland
A protected woodland grove on the Asian side that locals fought hard to preserve from development, giving it a special community significance. The park has mature plane and chestnut trees, quiet paths, and a genuinely peaceful atmosphere that feels far removed from the city. It is less manicured than European-side parks, which is precisely its charm — though facilities are sparse.
