At 77 Fengshan Middle Road in Shunde, the grounds of the Daliang Children’s Palace hold a layered history. Centuries ago, this site housed the Xuanzhen Taoist Temple, a sanctuary dedicated to the ancient practice of alchemy. Following the establishment of the People’s Republic of China, the temple grounds were absorbed into a county cultural park. In 1979, the local government officially rebuilt the site into the Daliang Children’s Palace, creating a dedicated space for youth recreation. Today, the space operates as Banyuecheng Amusement Park. Local residents still refer to it by its 1979 name, preserving its historical identity in their daily conversations.

The park functions as a living archive of a specific era in Chinese leisure. Visitors encounter a landscape defined by vintage mechanical rides and analog play structures. The Golden Dragon Roller Coaster, a classic steel family coaster, remains on the grounds as a quiet, standing structure. Nearby, old-fashioned rotary lift planes and a retro haunted house evoke the atmosphere of late twentieth-century amusement parks. A massive multi-lane stone slide, built in the traditional elephant slide style of the era, anchors the playground. Its smooth terrazzo surface bears the physical marks of decades of use.

The Daliang Children’s Palace serves as a cherished landmark for Shunde’s post-80s and 90s generations, offering a direct connection to their childhoods. It remains a rare, well-preserved time capsule, allowing visitors to walk through the physical memory of a changing city.
