Click “cultural Shanghai” above to subscribe! Songjiang was established as a county in the Tang Dynasty and was promoted to a prefecture in the Yuan Dynasty
. 
For thousands of years, the most prosperous downtown center of Songjiang since Tang and Song Dynasties has been formed in the south of Songjiang yamen, that is, the south of “the first building of cloud” at the gate of today’s Songjiang No.2 Middle School
. 
This is where Fangta Garden is now
. 
The square pagoda garden, built on the original site of Town God’s Temple, is a successful example of integrating traditional gardening techniques into modern gardens
. 
Both the overall planning and the building monomer show very high aesthetic value
. 
Today, let’s walk into Fangta Garden, the most famous cultural scenic spot in Songjiang Fucheng
. 
Fangta Garden: “Shanghai open air museum” Fangta Garden is located at 235 Zhongshan East Road, Songjiang, covering an area of 182 mu
. 
It is a garden with historical and cultural buildings as the main body
. 
The park is known as “Shanghai open-air museum” for its numerous historical buildings in song, yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties
. 
The whole landscape is centered on xingshengjiao Temple Pagoda (commonly known as “Fangta”, a national key cultural relic protection unit), surrounded by Songjiang Fangta Garden, a municipal cultural relic protection unit (composed of brick wall, wangxianqiao, lanruitang, chenhuacheng temple and Tianfei Palace); Songjiang Ming Dynasty stone statue and the front hall of Zhang’s house, a district cultural relic protection unit; Zhuojin garden, Wulaofeng and sunyuan“ There are 8 cultural security units (spots) in total
. 
The park also has its Changlang, hehaoxuan, qiushengting, dujinlin, tiedifang, guqiandao, yangdexuan and other landscapes
. 
Within the garden, the lake is winding, the tower is shining, the bamboo forest is elegant, the ancient trees are tall and straight, and the flowers and trees are luxuriant
. 
The whole garden is elegant, simple, quiet and clean, with the charm of Tang and Song Dynasties and the modern garden atmosphere
. 
Fangta Garden, the painstaking work of the architect Feng Jizhong, is the masterpiece of the famous architect Feng Jizhong in his later years
. 
It was planned and designed in 1978, and initially completed in 1981
. 
The architect Feng Jizhong, a classmate of I.M
. 
Pei, is known as “North Liang, South Feng” and Liang Sicheng
. 
In 1978, Feng Jizhong received the task of designing the pagoda garden in Songjiang
. 
At that time, Fang TA was like a remnant of the winter scenery
.
Only the song tower and the Ming Dynasty wall stood alone in the vast wasteland
.
The land with a total area of 11 square kilometers was originally the center of the Songjiang government in the Tang and Song dynasties
.
The location of the county government, the Town God’s Temple and the Xing Sheng Jiao temple was passing through the city river in the Tang Dynasty, and it was once a prosperous sight
.
People hope that Feng Jizhong can build a modern park that can accommodate certain tourists
.
Feng Jizhong’s design of “keeping the old as the new” made Fangta Garden stand on the cusp of the times, and the construction process was rather bumpy
.
Under Feng Lao’s “doing his best”, this urban park with the nature of “open-air museum” has finally become a landscape architecture work with epoch-making significance
