Overview

edit

Yinggui Lake is the main lake in the Tianfu Art Park and covers more than 200 acres.[1] There are three lakes in total, Fangfei Lake, Hehua Lake, and Yinggui Lake.[3] The park itself covers an area of 3,033 acres,[3] with scenic views.[2][4]

The official launch of the Tianfu Art Park was held on 6 November 2021, with the opening of two new museum buildings by the lake, as a main focus of the 2021 Chengdu Biennale,[5] and operated by the Chengdu Art Academy.[6] The two museum buildings are the Chengdu Museum of Contemporary Art and Chengdu Tianfu Art Museum, forming a new part of the Chengdu Art Museum.
