Photo TR: Shiwan Park (December 14, 2013)

I ventured over into Huizhou today to visit Shiwan Park.I found this park on Google Maps a while back and knew it had a kiddie coaster,so I alerted Duane at RCDB. Turns out the coaster here is powered coaster. Shiwan Park is located in northwest Huizhou, right across the river from Dongguan. The park is free to enter and has various facilities. There is a stage for live performances, a lake, a pagoda, a Buddah statue and an amusement park. It was late in the afternoon when I got there and as it was cloudy, it was a bit dark, so I didn't get to photograph the whole park like I wanted. I rode the powered coaster and took photos of what I could before the darkness set in. It had been rainy this afternoon before I got to the park and I wondered if anything there would be open. All of the rides were available. There are only six rides here. One is a walk through haunted house. The outside of the building looks very neat. I tried to get a good photo of it, but I had to take my photo at an angle due to the placement of the bumper cars. Shiwan Park became my 377th park today. It is a nice, but faded park. It is a nice spot for the locals to enjoy. Many enthusiasts will never get to or would even want to visit this place, but since I live in the region, I just had to go.

I am in Huizhou today and I have arrived at Shiwan Park.

This old stage is in the park. It could use a paint job.

This Buddah display exists inside the park.

This little inflatable attraction is inside the park and looks new compared to other facilities here.

Here is the merry go round.

The Chinese love their wave swingers.

This haunted house is a walk through attraction. I couldn't get a better picture because the bumper cars block the front of the attraction.

A powered dragon coaster is here.

It is a pretty common powered coaster.

Despite it being a rainy afternoon, I was able to get a spin on the dragon.
