Green Lake Park consists a group of 4 small lakes linked by bridges in the traditional style. Brightly painted pavilions on the islands inside the park, tree-lined walks, flowers, and the local populace enjoying themselves by exercising in various specialist groups all add to the appeal of the park.
Green Lake is surrounded by a ring road, and along the edge of that are restaurants and tea houses, shops, and hotels, including the upscale Green Lake Hotel and Harbour Plaza Hotel.
During the winter months, black-headed gulls from Siberia migrate to Green Lake and entertain the crowds of visitors as they circle around and snap up bread, usefully provided by a herd of local vendors, thrown up into the air by tourists.
