Wanshougong Park covers 4.7 hectare. It is the first senior people park. Wanshougong Park is originally the relics of Guandi Temple in Min Dynasty. There still remain temple construction and tablet inscriptions. In order to keep the original architecture style and reflect the feature of senior people’s park, the park opens a scenery area mainly of the remaining architectures, such as 'Luzhu Garden'—— center for old people activities;'Qinfang Garden'—— place for Beijing customs and flower, birds enjoying; 'Baojian shulin'——old sport venue, etc. on this basis, the garden built a group of different styles of archaized archway in the east and south entrance with inscription as 'happy and health' and 'late sunshine' on the back to outstand the recreation theme. The garden also invites famous calligraphers to write tablets and couplets.

All shows a cultural atmosphere.
