How to book
The municipal gardening page names the Xinglin Bay park and cycling greenway, but does not publish a unified booking or ticket route for the public greenway.
No official lead time is given; rentals, water bicycles and events require separate confirmation.
Booking steps
- 1
Use the official park page to choose a public greenway access point around Xinglin Bay.
- 2
Check weather, construction and any current event notice from the municipal or district authority.
- 3
Confirm any rental, boat or paid experience with its official operator rather than treating the greenway as a ticket product.
The public greenway page does not specify passport or phone requirements.
If a commercial activity is closed or cannot register a passport, keep the public walking route as the only unconfirmed fallback; do not invent a booking method.
