Shashi - Sun-Yat-sen Park Zongshan Gongyuan Park

 
This park, situated in the city center, is best known for its two monuments: the Tomb of the Chancellor Lun Shu'ao Mu and the Spring and Autumn Pavilion. The tomb lies in the northeastern corner of the park. Sun Shu'ao, chancellor of the Chu empire, gained an important military victory near the city and was therefore buried here. The present tomb however was only built in 1757, long after his death.

The Spring and Autumn Pavilion (Chunqiu Ge) was erected at the beginning of the 19th C on the western outskirts of Shashi and was moved here in 1931. It houses a statue portraying General Guan Yu (?219) reading the classical work ''Spring and Autumn''.
