Fangta Garden Songjiang District, where Fangta Garden is located, was established as a county in the Tang Dynasty and was promoted as a mansion in the Yuan Dynasty
.
For thousands of years, in the south of Songjiang residence, Songjiang has become the most prosperous downtown center since the Tang and Song dynasties
.
This is where Fangta Garden is now

Fangta Garden is a successful example of integrating traditional gardening techniques into modern gardens

Both the overall planning and individual buildings show high aesthetic value

.
The whole garden is elegant, simple, quiet and clean, with the charm of Tang and Song Dynasties and the modern garden atmosphere
.
In 1978, Songjiang Fangta Garden began to be built
.
In the face of the vast wasteland and the isolated song tower and Ming Dynasty screen wall, the designers put forward the concept of “new from the ancient”
.
On the basis of studying Chinese traditional culture and garden art, they went beyond the tradition and boldly adopted steel structure, bamboo structure and brick structure
.
They integrated the charm of western modern garden into the characteristics of Chinese traditional garden, showing a kind of super traditional concept
.
The song pagoda, Mingbi, Qingdian and ancient trees are built according to their original conditions to form a space of rise and fall, complexity and size, which further sets off the image of cultural relics

In recent years, with the increasing number of visitors, the scenic spots of Fangta Garden also need to be repaired and maintained in time
.
Taking the square tower as an example, such problems as the natural aging and artificial damage of the power lines inside the tower, the peeling off of the outer wall inside the tower and so on, all have an impact on the safety of tourists and cultural relics
.
In 2002 and 2007, the cultural relics protection department of the district took the lead in painting and repairing the pagoda twice
.
In the process of maintenance, the cultural relic department, from the perspective of protection, excavates the historical information carried by the ancient buildings, and implements the protection project according to the principles of minimum intervention, unchanged original state, identifiability and reversibility, which can not only achieve the purpose of cultural relic protection, but also provide a good foundation for the follow-up work
