The White Pagoda Park (simplified Chinese: 白塔公园; traditional Chinese: 白塔公園; pinyin: Bái Tǎ Gōngyuán), or romanised as the Baita Park,[1] is a park in Shangcheng, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China. The park opened on 1 May 2014. On the north bank of Qiantang River and the south border of the West Lake Scenic Area, the park is part of the Grand Canal National Cultural Park in Hangzhou.[2][3] Within the park, there are the White Pagoda that can date back to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period and the historical relics of the Jianggan-Gongshu Railway, which was opened in 1908 as the first railway in Zhejiang.[4]
