A Park Rooted in History
The name Cunjin literally means an inch of gold, symbolizing the idea that every inch of Chinese land is precious. The park was established to commemorate the resistance against foreign occupation during the colonial era of Guangzhou Bay, when Zhanjiang was under French lease from 1898 to 1945.
Monuments and memorials throughout the park honor the patriotic spirit and resilience of local people during this period, making the park both a scenic and historical landmark.

The park is also houses the Zhanjiang Museum, which provides insight into the history and heritage of the Leizhou Peninsula.
