Ha Yongwu Park

　　   The “Ha Yongwu” stone carving was created in the third year of the Chenghua era of the Ming Dynasty (1467 AD). It is engraved on the sloped surface of a granite rock that is 8 meters high and 9 meters wide, exuding a majestic aura. The inscription beside the carving reads: “Written by Zhang Tong, the Imperial Commissioner and Commander-in-Chief for Coastal Defense against Japanese Pirates; carved by Xu Hai, the Deputy Inspector of Maritime Patrol.”

　　   Facing the blue waves of the South China Sea, the park is surrounded by beautiful scenery and shaded trees. At the top of the hill behind it are a Ming Dynasty beacon tower, the “Bo Tian Wan Qing” (Calm Waves Over Vast Waters) stone carving, a modern martyrs’ memorial tower, and the Haibo Pavilion. It has now been developed into a park and is one of the famous attractions in Taishan City.
