Historical evolution

Zhongshan Park has a history of more than 70 years. In 1925, Mr. Hu Yu, a Hong Kong gentleman who once served as the county magistrate of Bao'an County, planned to build the park in memory of Dr. Sun Yat Sen. at that time, the park covered an area of only 20 mu, with all kinds of wooden pavilions, monkeys and birds, and patches of camphor trees, autumn maple, stone chestnut, red cotton, Phoenix wood and Araucaria for visitors to watch. At that time, Mr. Zheng, the Nantou electric company, provided lighting power for the park free of charge. In October 1930, Mr. Chen Jianbo, an overseas Chinese in Nanshan, donated money to build a steel concrete Pavilion in the park. At that time, Mr. Hu Yu, the county magistrate, named the pavilion "Jianbo Pavilion" and personally wrote the inscription "Mr. Chen Jianbo, a famous resident in the city, is enthusiastic about public welfare. Seeing Yu Bizhi Park, he donated this pavilion to decorate it and make the park colorful". At the same time, there are four characters inscribed on the granite beside the pavilion: "enjoy with the people". During the cultural revolution, huge stones were damaged. In February 1995, the dilapidated "Jianbo Pavilion" was demolished to rebuild the monument of Neilingding Island. In recent years, the "Jianbo Pavilion" has been rebuilt in the northeast of the old park. The trees planted more than 70 years ago are now covered with the sun. Two tall and strong Araucaria trees are rare in the province. Now there are 32 ancient and famous trees in the garden.
