Helpfulness
How people in Mataram~Ampenan~Cakranegara living in harmony at the ancient time were described by many personification sculptures in Mayura Park. Like the Middle East people [Iranian, Turkish] and Chinese people. Symbolizing that they're so helpful during the developing of Mayura Park. And at the entrance gate can be found Chinese dishes which put on the wall.
