According to a study in the International Journal of Environmental Health Research, simply spending 20 minutes a day in a park or any natural environment, even without engaging in any physical activity, can improve an individual's mental well-being.Being in a natural environment can significantly reduce the levels of cortisol (stress hormone) in the human body. At the same time, the natural environment helps the brain's control center, the prefrontal cortex, to relax and rest. 

Escape from the "Concrete Jungle", and take a 20-minute break from the mundane daily life and the fast-paced urban lifestyle. Today, we recommended several beautiful and lush parks in Xi'an for you to relax and give your mind a "deep breath" after a long day.

Xingqing Palace Park

Daming Palace National Heritage Park

Qujiang Pool Heritage Park

On a summer day by the Furong Lake, the layered lotus flowers create elegant waves.

Tang Paradise

Duyi Heritage Park

The Circular City Wall Park

Running, playing musical instruments, having leisure, and taking a stroll in the park serve different purposes for people, yet they all lead to the same destination.

People need parks, and they truly need "natural public spaces" in the city, in order to better connect with the city and improve their social life. Cities also need parks to create a better urban life, subtly infusing nature into people's lives, which is a touch of humanistic care.

Take a 20-minute break in the nearby park whenever you have time~ It helps stretch your body, allows your mind to breathe, and lets you feel the connection between the city, nature, and people.
