Scenery in the park

Large rockery: located in the southwest corner of the park, it is 8 meters high, more than 100 meters long and 40 meters wide, covering an area of 6.9 mu. It is a product of the "deep excavation" period in the 1970s. There are dozens of trees on the mountain, such as Ginkgo biloba, tung tree, Chimonanthus praecox, Rhododendron, etc. More than 2000 tons of bluestone and Yellowstone stones were used to build the peaks. According to the situation, the two peaks were formed. The small stone peaks on the top of the mountain are of different shapes and shapes. There are dozens of tree altars of different sizes and density on the top of the mountain, which have a sense of overlapping mountains. There are more than ten circuitous stone roads in the whole mountain, which make people feel that there are endless scenic spots. In 1981, a hexagonal wooden pavilion was built at the north foot of the rockery, named "Xishan Pavilion", and a "cuckoo Pavilion" was built at the south foot of the rockery. For more than 20 years, the mountain has grown into a forest of trees and shrubs, with beautiful green scenery and a panoramic view of the whole garden.

There was a three curved stone bridge on the surface of the pond. On the walking bridge, the water lilies were in full bloom. In the east of the pond, there was a green glazed tile pavilion with stone tables and benches for visitors to play chess, read books and enjoy the scenery of lakes and mountains. The lake is surrounded by rocks. There are willow, peach, maple and other arbors and various flower shrubs with different attitudes.

Wutong Pavilion: located in the southwest of the park, the Qing Dynasty architecture has been in existence for more than ninety years, and was moved by the Wutong Road Primary School in 1981. The pavilion is a four corner cornice, angle warping and arched wood structure, named "Qingshang Pavilion". It originated from the handwriting of "Xishan Qingshang" in Zhuzhi mountain of Ming Dynasty, and is a sister pavilion with "Xishan Pavilion" on the rockery. There are carved beams and painted buildings in the pavilion. In the west, there is a pool, rockery and wall spring. In the East, there is a moon cave gate leading to the azalea garden.

Around the pavilion, azalea, camellia and pomegranate compete for beauty. Sitting in the pavilion, you can only feel the beauty of the verdant Huang Fu Buddha, the majestic Zhuting, and the trickle of the wall spring.

Shidao: after the cultural revolution, our garden collected 75 pieces of stone lions, stone tigers and stone elephants from the Ming and Qing Dynasties in Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and displayed them on the Central Avenue of the park and the main scenic spots in the park. From the gate of the park to the fountain in the park, there are five pairs of stone lions on both sides, with different shapes and lifelike shapes, forming a lion road. In the middle of the road sits a stone Qi scale, with a big mouth, big ears, curly hair and a bald tail. It is a treasure in people's heart. The five moon caves in the park are guarded by lions, and there are many stone lions on the terrace and along the path. Many people of insight in Shanghai have written many articles praising this as "lion road" and "Lion Forest" in Shanghai.

It is more than 30 meters long and about 3 meters high, covering an area of 60 square meters. It is in the shape of a lock shell.

In addition to being used as a newspaper gallery and gallery, huzhongtiandi also displays stone carving relics, especially the long stone carving "dark Eight Immortals" in the center of the gallery, which is the original of Guangfu temple on fangbang road in the guangnian period of the Qing Dynasty. After the cultural revolution, our garden picked it up from the garbage.

Rhododendron Garden: Rhododendron Garden is the inner garden of the park, which is high in the north and low in the south. It consists of six flower beds, which are connected by pebble paths.
