Urban parks are providing favorable conditions for sustainable urban planning, which is beneficial to the urban microclimate in different seasons. However, few studies have focused on the seasonal differences and comparisons between different urban spaces. In this research, air temperature, wind speed and wind direction of three seasons in the Xingqing Palace Park and its surrounding urban areas were measured in 2018. Through the analysis of air temperature, the actual seasonal thermal

The temperature of high-rise building space and multi-story campus space in winter park is higher, but the temperature change of the multi-story residential building space is opposite to that of the park; the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the park is small and the fluctuation is diverse in spring; the internal temperature of park is slightly lower than the surrounding space in summer. In terms of application, surrounding urban spaces can be optimized in the future based on analysis results, so that the urban park can better exert its function by combining with the surrounding urban space, to mitigate the urban heat island (UHI) effect.
