What Do You Know About These Treasured Greenways?

01 Linpingshan Greenway 临平山绿道


The Linpingshan Greenway is a mountain greenway that runs around Linping Mountain. It measures 12 km in length and the newly built section is 6 km long and 4.5 meters wide. It stretches from the Azalea Garden in the east to Linpingshan Sports and Leisure Park in the west. The greenway, “traversing between mountains and forests, stretching above the city and built among the people”, is the top choice for people to tour, go sightseeing, and exercise. In 2020, it was selected as “The Most Beautiful Greenway in Zhejiang”. Recently, the azaleas in the garden have bloomed. If you are free, you should come!


02 Shangtanghe Greenway 上塘河绿道


Shangtanghe Greenway starts at Tiandu City (天都城) in the west and Lindong Road (临东路) in the east.

The greenway passes by many blocks and is an important part of the construction of the Linping District Greenway “Slow Pace System”.
