A park in memory of Bao Zheng (999-1062), a Hefei native and Northern Song official so famed for integrity and fairness that the Chinese call him «Bao the Clear Sky», a byword for just judgement in Chinese stories and opera. The park follows the banks of an old moat known as the Bao River and holds a memorial hall, the longest-standing of China's halls honouring Bao, his tomb, the tall Qingfeng («Clear Breeze») Pavilion looking out over the park and city, and the Fuzhuang garden floating on the water with its walkways and pavilions; it is rated 4A. Entry is free by scanning a code at the gate, from 9 am to 5 pm with last entry at 4.30 pm, per visitor guides.

Floating on the water.
And its green banks.
72 Wuhu Road, Baohe District, Hefei
A Northern Song official born in Hefei in 999, so renowned for integrity and fairness that he became the symbol of the just judge in Chinese culture; the park honours him with a memorial hall and his tomb.
Fairly, as the city has beef noodle shops run by Hui Muslims under the halal sign, while local cooking uses pork, so ask about ingredients.
