Roads and floors are mostly paved with gravel and cinders, and there are few revetments by the lake. Bridges, pavilions, corridors and other garden buildings are mostly bamboo and wood structures, and the varieties of flowers and trees are monotonous. 1960, lake and marsh revetment will be built one after another, and roads, terraces, bridges, pavilions and corridors will be rebuilt, and various recreational facilities will be added. 1975 Tangjiabang and its tributaries passing through the park are black and smelly due to industrial wastewater pollution, which affects the garden capacity.
