Go, also known as weiqi in Chinese, is a strategic board game for two players where the aim is to surround more territory on the board than the opponent using black and white stones.

The park is meant to become a comprehensive Go-themed cultural and tourism park, offering a variety of attractions and services such as study tours, training camps, educational research, cultural and creative products, food experiences, and exhibition and collection halls.

It will enhance the quality of scenic resources, enrich the local historical and cultural atmosphere, and promote the spread of Go culture.
