Its predecessor was Guyang Garden of Zhu Zhichun, a famous scholar in the Southern Song Dynasty. Dong Qichang, a great calligrapher and painter in the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty and the Minister of Rites, once lived in the garden temporarily, composing poems and paintings. The name of the garden comes from the admiration of the owner of the garden, Bai Juyi, the great poet of the Tang Dynasty. The current Zuibaichi consists of two parts: the old Zuibaichi garden in the east and the new garden in the west. Most of the historical landscapes are concentrated in the east.

The second reading hall
The church was built in the Ming Dynasty and rebuilt in the 34th year of Guangxu's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1908). The Reading Hall also has a connection with Fang Xiaoru, a famous minister of the Ming Dynasty. According to legend, after Zhu Di, who launched the Jingnan Campaign, invaded Nanjing, he executed Fang Xiaoru Lingchi who refused to surrender, and annihilated ten tribes. After his two sons escaped by chance, they hid in Songjiang and changed their surname to "Yu", which means the two of the Fang family. The reading hall is the reading place of the two orphans of the Fang family. , there is a small platform in front of the door, above the square pool. The hall was built during the Xuantong period of the Qing Dynasty (1908-1911) and was named after plum blossoms planted in front of the hall. On December 27, 1912, Sun Yat-sen, Chen Qimei, Dai Jitao and others came to Shanghai to visit Zuibaichi and delivered a speech at Xuehaitang. The couplets now in the hall, "The reverberations of President Sun Wen's revolutionary speech will linger forever; meeting the Song people at the Xuehai Hall, the honor and reputation will be passed down through the ages" is a true record of the grand occasion of that year.
The third one is the Zhujia Mountain House, which is three rooms wide and has a single eaves on the top of the mountain. It is a four-sided hall and is a relic of the Ming Dynasty. It was the place where Dong Qichang and other Songjiang School figures sang poems, talked about calligraphy and paintings. The word "Zhu Che" comes from the poem "Proud Official" written by Wen Tong, a famous poet and painter in the Northern Song Dynasty: "No matter where the horse's heart is, it is free to arrange the car. When asking about the year, the Zhu Che faces the west mountain." It means to support it with your hands. He had a straight face and looked very casual. There are couplets on both sides of the hall door: "The ruins of the pond in the year of Gan are a lesson; the romantic stones of different dynasties can be touched."
The fourth Chishang Thatched Cottage was built in the first year of Xuantong in the Qing Dynasty (1909).

The fifth Hualu Hanxiang Pavilion, also known as Xiaohu Pavilion, is a single-eaves rolling shed built on the corridor and half a pavilion on the top of the mountain.

The seventh Lotte Pavilion is three rooms wide, with a single eaves rolled roof and corridors all around.

The current Lotte Xuan was rebuilt in the early years of the Republic of China and has a history of more than a hundred years.
The eighth Lian Stone is a very ordinary stone standing in the bamboo forest on the east side of Letianxuan, but its origin is a historical allusion. Zhang Bi, the ancestor of the owner of Diaohua Building mentioned above, was an upright official in the Ming Dynasty. When he left the post of Nan'an magistrate, he took a heavy box with him on the ship. His family and fellow villagers thought that he had made a fortune as an official. When the boat arrived home, he opened the box and found that there was only a big stone inside. Zhang Bi walked away with his reputation as an upright official and a breeze on his sleeves. The big stone he brought back was named "Lian Shi" and was passed down by future generations as a "family motto".
The ninth stone carving of Ten Deer and Nine Turning Back is a relief, square in shape, with a side length of about one meter. The picture shows ten majestic sika deer running, and the shape is vivid. It is named because all nine deer turn back in the play.

After the bridge was demolished, the stone carving was moved to the "First Floor of Yunjian" for display. The building was destroyed (1950 AD), and the Caidian was moved to Zuibaichi Garden. Annals of Songjiang Prefecture during the Jiaqing Period of the Qing Dynasty: "Those who work without money are said to be nine times out of ten." It is generally said among the people that "Songjiang has always been a land of plenty, and nine out of ten people who go out to be officials or do business must return to their hometowns." , , Ten deer turn back nine times, using deer as a metaphor for people·It means returning to one’s roots after falling leaves, and never forgetting one’s homeland.
