The emergency facilities include:

• Emergency water wells (应急水井)

The emergency shelters at Baohai Park are permanent facilities that do not alter the park’s recreational, entertainment, and fitness functions during normal times. They will only be activated during major emergencies to ensure residents’ safety. The park is well-equipped with facilities, including parking lots and snack streets.
