A new pavilion is built on the top of the mountain, named Lingyun Pavilion. The pavilion overlooks the panoramic view of huilongtan. In 1928, the popular education center of Jiading County transformed the scenic spots around huilongtan, yingkuishan, Kuixing Pavilion, Longmen Bridge and Confucius Temple into parks. After renovation, the original trees and buildings were officially opened to the public in February of the next year, named "Kuishan Park", which is the predecessor of huilongtan Park and the earliest Park in Jiading.
