Introducing Bouldering Park

Baoshi Park, built in commemoration of Xinyu-born master of traditional Chinese painting Fu Baoshi, is the first park in China named after an artist. It is a key cultural facility in Jiangxi Province. The park's design and layout strive to embody Fu Baoshi's refined artistic style, adhering to the principle of preferring sparseness to excess, and emphasizing elegance. Currently, the park features attractions such as the Fu Baoshi Exhibition Hall, East Gate, South Gate, Qinfeng Tower, Zuibi Tower, Baoshi Lake, Twin Pavilions Emerging from the Water, Waterside Pavilion with Reflections on Stone, Curved Corridor with Sunset Lights, Jianshi Pass, Three Smiles Bridge, Red Rain Bridge, Children's Playground, Inviting Moon Pavilion, Remaining Fragrance Pavilion, Gaofeng Pavilion, Fish Viewing Pond, Flower Garden, Yangde Pavilion, Listening to the Waves Pavilion, Playing Chess Pavilion, Blue Sea and Pine Waves, and Yifeng Tower, as well as a 5,000-meter hiking trail.

The East Gate Archway stands 13.5 meters tall and 30 meters wide, forming a gatehouse-style archway with three bays, four pillars, and seven floors. Both the front and back plaques bear the four golden characters "Baoshi Park" written by Zhao Puchu, Chairman of the Buddhist Association of China and Vice Chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. The plaques in the left and right bays are inlaid with four porcelain paintings, imitating Mr. Baoshi's masterpieces "Spring," "Summer," "Autumn," and "Winter." The name "Baoshi Park" inscribed on the South Gate Archway is in the handwriting of Mr. Wu Zuoren, Chairman of the China Artists Association and Vice Chairman of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles.

Entering from the East Gate and ascending the stairs, one arrives at a small hilltop, upon which stands the garden's tallest pavilion, the Qinfeng Tower. This four-tiered, hip-and-gabled building, a replica of the ancient Kuixing Pavilion on Hukan Mountain, is styled after the towering Kuixing Pavilion on Hukan Mountain. Because of its towering height, this scene is known as "High Pavilion Reaching the Sky."
