The 92-hectare park is the natural choice for most people, locals and tourists because it is conveniently located at the southern end of the axis road.

Since it opened in 2003, it has been graced by more than 1 million visitors, who can either browse the exhibition halls where 300-plus pieces are on display (with 1,000 in the collection) or wander along the quiet paths to discover the 448 more that accentuate the tapestry of nature.

You may not find every piece to your fancy, but on the other hand you'll surely find something to your liking.

I was fascinated by a bronze bust of Shakespeare, who was portrayed sitting with his left hand holding a quill pen and his face wearing an expression half pensive, half roguish.

The centerpiece of the park is a 23.5-meter obelisk with three maidens, respectively representing peace, friendship and springtime. It sits on a 6-meter platform in the shape of a blossoming flower.
