On the main gateway to the park lies the elegant Flower Bridge. It was originally constructed in the Song Dynasty and later was renovated in Ming Dynasty.

But unfortunately, now visitors can not find any, since the flowers reduced greatly in Qing Dynast.

The other curiosity of the Park stands in the area between the two mountains: the Light of China Square. Spreading over 13,520 square meters (16,170 square yards), the square is a place where relaxing near to the two large-scale pieces of artworks: the stone carving murals, made up of more than 100 stone carvings and epitomizing 5000-year of Chinese civilization, and the Shi Ji Bao Ding, a four-legged Ding (4.6 meters (15 feet) height), symbol of a flourishing nation and peaceful living people.
There is a fantastical cave in the park-Seven Star Cave. It is a typical karst cave with many stalactites and stalagmites. With decoration of lights, the cave is really an eye-dazzling spot that you should not miss.

In the old town of Xitang, you will see well-preserved groups of buildings of Ming and Qing Dynasties with relatively high artistic quality and research value. In those archaic houses, besides the culture and value of the houses themselves, there are also displays of cultural relics or woodcarvings or eaves tiles collected by the house owner. On the roofs of some old houses in Xitang Town, the grass is about one chi (about 13 inches) tall. It is said that the spirit of the former owner of the house joins with the grass, making it flourish and blessing the peace and permanence of the house as well as the prosperity of the entire town.

Something that makes Xitang so special is the number of bridges that it contains. The city has 104 bridges, each built in varying styles spanning the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Some look like rainbows over the river and others like long flutes. Life for Xitang locals is calm and easy, full of comfort and peace, no difference from the lifestyle of their ancestors thousands of years ago. The elderly play with their grandchildren on the bridges and in the lanes, and women wash vegetables and clothes in the rivers that run beside their houses. If you need a break from the stresses of Shanghai, there's really no better place for chilling out and experiencing the quieter side of Chinese life.
