Shanghai Penglai Park

　　Built in 1954, Penglai Park houses a large collection of animal stone carvings from the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties. The park has created a “Lion Path” where all the collected stone lions are displayed along the sides of the walkway. It is reported that these Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasty animal stone carvings were collected in the 1970s by several veteran staff members of the park from rural areas in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. They were acquired for almost no cost, totaling more than 70 pieces including stone lions, stone tigers, stone sheep, and stone elephants. Most of them were originally guardian lions at the gates of wealthy households or stone animal sculptures at tombs. Among them, there are two pairs of lions and one stone qilin (a mythical creature), which are considered to be Yuan dynasty carvings due to their simple design and rough craftsmanship, as authenticated by experts.
