Plan at a glance
The park and its paid halls
Fan Gongting Park is at 65 Fangongting West Road in Qingzhou, Weifang. The South Gate is the usual entrance. The park is free, open all day and does not require a reservation. The Li Qingzhao Memorial Hall and Sanxian Shrine charge separately, with reference tickets of CNY 10 each; the halls usually run 08:30–17:30 and may stop selling tickets earlier.
Allow about 1 hour for the lake, bridges and garden setting. Allow 2–3 hours if you add both halls and continue to Qingzhou Museum. The park works well as a calm walking stop between Qingzhou Ancient City and the museum.
Who it suits
Yangxi Lake, the old bridge, the Li Qingzhao statue and the exterior of Sanxian Shrine suit an easy walk or a family visit. Visitors interested in Qingzhou history can enter both halls, but the separate tickets and earlier closing time must be planned independently from the park’s all-day access.

Yangxi Lake and the garden paths
Yangxi Lake is the park’s main natural feature, with an old bridge, trees and a statue of Li Qingzhao along the shore. Morning light on a clear day is steady for photography, and the flat paths suit visitors who do not want a mountain hike.
Li Qingzhao Memorial Hall and Sanxian Shrine
The Li Qingzhao Memorial Hall suits visitors who want to learn about the poet’s life and work. Sanxian Shrine commemorates Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu and Fu Bi and fits a Qingzhou history route focused on the Northern Song period. With limited time, view the exteriors first and keep the main stop for the lake and bridge.
The park’s old trees and water views give photographers a simple subject set of lake, bridge, trees and statue. Some lotus flowers in the lake are landscape decorations, so the natural water and old bridge are better choices when you want a less staged view.
Build your day
About 1 hour in the park
Enter through the South Gate and follow the path around Yangxi Lake. See the old bridge and Li Qingzhao statue, take a look at the exterior of Sanxian Shrine, then leave through the South Gate.
This route suits a post-meal walk, a family visit or a day that continues to another attraction. If the paid halls have already stopped selling tickets, the lake route still works as a complete park visit.
2–3 hours for the park and museum
Enter through the South Gate, walk around Yangxi Lake, then visit the Li Qingzhao Memorial Hall and Sanxian Shrine. Leave through the north side of the park and follow the walking route toward Qingzhou Museum, about 700 metres away.
This plan suits visitors who already have a museum reservation. The museum has its own booking, entrance and clearing time, so confirm the reservation slot before leaving the park rather than treating the park’s all-day access as museum access at any time.
Get there
Arrival
Drivers can navigate to Fan Gongting Park South Gate, where free parking is available nearby. From Qingzhou Station, take Bus 9 or a taxi; the taxi ride takes about 20 minutes.
Combining nearby stops
The park is close to Qingzhou Museum, with a walking connection of about 700 metres from the north side. Qingzhou Ancient City can be another city stop by foot or a short ride. The three places have separate entrances and operating rules, so order them around the museum reservation and hall hours.
Know before you go
Park access and hall timing
The park itself is free and open all day. The Li Qingzhao Memorial Hall and Sanxian Shrine charge separately, and the halls may stop selling tickets before 17:30. Visit the paid halls earlier rather than leaving them until the end of the day.
Lake etiquette and weather
Wild ducks and koi live around the lake. Do not feed them bread or steamed buns, which can pollute the water. The lakeside and old bridge may be slippery after rain, so stay on the paths while taking photos.
Linking the museum visit
If you plan to continue to Qingzhou Museum, confirm its reservation and admission slot first, then decide how long to stay in the park. Fan Gongting Park works as a one-hour stop or as a half-day cultural route with the two paid halls.
