Shuzhuang Park is situated on the seashore to the south of Riguang Rock. In the 21st year of the Guangxu period in the Qing Dynasty (1895), a rich merchant from Tainan came to Gulang island with his family and made his home there. He began building the park in 1913 in memory of his native home in Banqiao, Taiwan, and used Shuzhuang, the homonym of his mothers name to name the park. There you can feel a stillness in things moving, and a movement in things still. It presents such a unique scene that you might find it difficult to tear yourself away from it. Inside the park there are several beautiful views such as Renqiu Pavilion(壬秋阁) , the Forty-four Bridge(四十四桥), the artificial hills and so on. No wonder the park ranks first among the famous parks in Xiamen. Now I will tell you something about the Forty-four Bridge. The Forty-four Bridge is the major view of Shuzhuang Park. This over-one-hundred-meter-long bridge looks like a dragon moving through the water. On the bridge there are Watching Fishing Stand观鱼台, Ferrying-to-the Moon Pavilion渡月阁, One-thousand-wave Pavilion千波亭 and so on. If you are strolling about or taking a rest on the bridge when it is at full tide, You might have a feeling of walking on the sea, coming up and down with the waves. * *
