ZhongShan Park (中山公园), praised as “Dongyuan Flower Sea,” has numerous botanical gardens named after various flowers and plants. The most popular areas of the park include: Oriental Cherry Road, Plum Blossom Road, Chinese Herbaceous Peony Garden, Osmanthus Flower Garden, and Peach Garden. The Little West Lake and Sun-Wen Lotus Pond are very popular with tourists during summer months.

Zhongshan park, named after Dr. Sun Yat-sen (ZhongShan) in 1929, was constructed in 1901. It is 185 acres (75 hectors) in size and surrounded by Taiping mountain to the north-east. The main entrance to the park faces Tiantai Stadium and Huiquan Square to the south.

The Qingdao Zoo and cable cars that ascend to TaiPingShan (where the Qingdao TV Tower is located) are at the north-east end of ZhongShan Park. The north entrance is located on YaNan 1st Road.
