Yangtze River port revitalized into community park

This ensures that no sewage in the park is discharged into the Yangtze River without treatment, Pan said.

Ai, the local woman, recalled that before the renovation, the riverbank was covered with shabby houses and overgrown with weeds, and "the water in the river was like mud and smelly".

Now the park has become one of her favorite places to spend her leisure time, the 64-year-old said, adding that she would recommend tourists visiting Jingzhou to check out the park.
