Overview
“There is a mountain directly north of the old city, shaped like a screen, so it is called ‘Pingshan’.” The newly renovated Pingshan Park is picturesque and pleasing to the eye, and is a good place for many residents to relax. Entering from the north gate of Pingshan Park, the most eye-catching thing is the giant curtain wall at the main entrance of the park. There are eight characters written on the front wall: "Shaoxing opens to Fujian, Zhenhai opens to Tianjin".
Zhaobi, a unique part of ancient Chinese traditional architecture, was especially popular in the Ming Dynasty. It was generally used as a shield in city gates. The ancients called it "Xiaoqiang".
