I ran and walked around this park when visiting Chaozhou. As with most urban parks in China, it's a busy place where the locals take their daily exercise and socialize.You can either do a straight line along the lake or you can venture up steps that will take you to the highest point.You can quite easily get confused with the different paths. There seem to be a few loop walks and you can end up walking for miles in what initially seems quite a small park. It's a mature park, with lots of old trees. It's a good place to see the locals and get some exercise at the same time.

Chaozhou West Lake Park is a quiet place. It is the right place to spend some time alone after visiting the West Lake. Don't forget drinking water because a relaxing walk during the day in the summer may dehydrate you.
