According to City Weekend, the park is popular among "local white-collar professionals who work and live in nearby Gubei and its surrounding areas".[2] The China Internet Information Center called the park "an ideal place for nearby Shanghainese to escape from a day's hard work and return to the happiness of nature".[1]
