The　main　objective　of　this　study　was　to　reveal　the　relationships　between　sound/soundscape　perception　and　public　visiting　experience　in　city　parks,　based　on　a　questionnaire　survey　of　146　park　users　in　West　Lake　park　in　Fuzhou,　China.　The　results　indicated　that,　the　three　visiting　experience　indicators,　i.e.,　soundscape　tranquil　degree　(STD),　landscape　aesthetic　degree　(LAD)　and　visiting　satisfaction　degree　(VSD)　were　positively　related　with　each　other,　and　LAD　(correlation　coefficients　=　0.728,　p　＜　0.01)　was　more　associated　with　VSD　than　STD　(correlation　coefficients　=　0.565,　p　＜　0.01).　Perception　of　certain　individual　sounds　was　found　in　close　relationships　with　the　three　indicators.　Specifically,　STD　showed　the　most　significant　relationships　with　harmonious　degree　of　individual　sounds,　where　perception　of　traffic　sounds　showed　the　most　negative　effects,　while　perception　of　music　related　sounds　and　water　sound　showed　positive　effects.　LAD　was　more　associated　with　perceived　occurrences　of　individual　sounds,　where　traffic　sounds　and　music　related　sounds　showed　the　most　significant　effects　again.　Both　perceived　occurrences　and　dominant　degree　of　individual　sounds　showed　the　most　and　equal　relationships　with　VSD.　Specifically,　mechanical　sounds　showed　the　most　negative　effects,　and　dog　barking　showed　significant　negative　effects　too,　while　music　related　sounds　could　be　the　only　kind　of　sound　positively　contributed　to　VSD.　Social/demographical/behavioral　factors　and　visit　motivations　all　showed　significant　relationships　with　individual　sound　perception　and　visiting　experience.　Considering　the　effects　of　all　associated　factors,　key　factors　were　detected　for　each　of　the　visiting　experience　indicators.　All　the　three　visiting　experience　indicators　showed　negative　relationships　with　certain　traffic　sounds,　while　tree　rustling　sound　was　the　only　sound　showing　positive　relationship　with　STD.　Age　was　the　most　important　social/demographical/behavioral　factor　showing　positive　relationships　with　LAD　and　VSD.　The　research　results　provided　theoretical　references　for　management　and　design　of　soundscapes　to　contribute　to　more　satisfied　experiences　in　city　parks.
