Kuhsangi is one of the oldest and most beloved parks in Mashhad, set on a low hill at the foot of the city's western mountains. The park climbs in a series of terraced gardens with flower beds, a small lake, fountains, and a series of casual restaurants along the upper edge — the perfect place for an evening picnic in summer.
The view down across the city, with the gold dome of the shrine glinting in the distance, is the best in Mashhad. Easy to reach by taxi or bus from the centre.
