A Haven of Tranquility: Guangqi Park

Guangqi Park, dedicated to 17th-century Christian scholar Xu Guangqi, features a prominent white marble cross and lush green surroundings.

Established in the late 20th century, the park contains Xu’s tomb—a large mound—and serves as a cultural hub where locals engage in activities like mahjong and tai chi under the canopy of ginkgo trees, magnolias, palms, and bamboo. Architectural highlights include a decorative archway and a memorial hall situated in a historic Ming dynasty building.
