History
The park was established in July 1931 as Dragon Spring Park (Longquan Park) on Reclining Dragon Hill (Wolong Gang), a sacred site connected with some shrines. In 1950, the new People's Republic of China government renewed the area and renamed it People's Park. The park's name was changed again in June 1997 to Qingcheng Park.
