Xixi National Wetland Park offers several old buildings to explore. Looking in the distance, Bo’an Cottage is just like floating on the water. It is the property of Zou Xiaozhi at early Qing Dynasty (1644 – 1912). The traditional screen in the middle of the cottage with the old furniture creates for a quiet environment for reading, drinking and appreciating views.

Water pavilion is one of the highlight in the park. It stands adjacent to water. In ancient times, locals built the structure in order to save earth and commute. At the pavilion, you can admire the rolling green mountains in the distance and the willow at the bank in spring.

Covering an area of 55 hectares, Wetland Botanical Garden presents wetland plants in the ecological diversity of pond systems, rivers, beaches, etc. There are more than 600 species of wetland plants in the garden, including more than 100 species of arbors, nearly 250 species of wet shrub cover plants, more than 150 species of emergent aquatic plants, more than 30 species of floating plants, more than 50 species of floating-leaved plants, and more than 30 types of submerged plants.

Between late winter and early spring, the park is decorated with plum blossom in Meizhu Estate and Xixi Meishu. Fu, Lv, and Shou Causeways connect the entire park. At Shentankou, locals regularly hold the dragon boat race at the festival.
