Zhenjiang's only memorial park - Bo Xian Park (named by Soong Ching Ling)

Coming out of Xijin Ferry and strolling along the old buildings, you can see the Guangzhao Public Hall with a gate made of ground bricks, with eaves and brick carvings that are very exquisite; there is No. 29 Boxian Road, a brick-wood-stone mixed structure mainly made of red bricks, with Dutch and Belgian classical architectural styles, this building is now called "Tu's House", the owner is Tu Jiahua, the director of the post office of the Nationalist Government of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui. Walking along, there are buildings from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, each with its own characteristics. Further ahead is Boxian Park. Boxian Park is located at the southeastern foot of Yuntai Mountain in the west of Zhenjiang City. It was built to commemorate the democratic revolutionary martyr Zhao Sheng and is the only memorial park in the city. It was proposed by Leng Yuqiu of the Tongmenghui and designed by Professor Chen Zhi, a garden expert. Construction began in 1926 and was completed and opened in June 1931. The park is built according to the mountain, like a giant armchair, with 28 kinds of ancient trees and famous trees inside, the trees are lush, the air is fresh, and the environment is elegant. Among them, the "May 30" lecture hall in the park is a provincial-level cultural relics protection unit. There are not many tourists in the park, only a few children playing by the pond. Boxian Park was originally named Zhao Sheng Park, and later renamed Boxian Park, and the South Road in front of the park was renamed Boxian Road. In 1931, the park was completed and a bronze statue of Zhao Sheng was unveiled. Liu Yizheng, a scholar and local, inscribed the six characters "Zhao Gong Boxian's Statue" on the front of the base of the bronze statue and wrote an inscription. It is now open for free. Boxian Park
