The Ten-Month Solar Calendar Park is nestled in the Chuxiong Yi Autonomous Prefecture in southwest Yunnan Province. Built to honor the rich culture and art of the Yi ethnic group, the park is named after the traditional Yi calendar.
The Yi calendar divides the year into ten months, each comprising 36 days, and organizes the year into five distinct seasons, with two months per season. This unique timekeeping system is celebrated throughout the park, making it a vibrant new venue for local Torch Festival celebrations.
Beyond its cultural significance, the park serves as a serene escape for city dwellers seeking to enjoy nature and engage in outdoor activities. Whether you're interested in immersing yourself in Yi traditions or simply looking for a peaceful place to exercise, the Ten-Month Solar Calendar Park offers a harmonious blend of heritage and natural beauty.
