It was proposed by Leng Yuqiu of the Tongmenghui and designed by Professor Chen Zhi, a garden expert. Construction began in 1926 and was completed and opened in June 1931. The park is built according to the mountain, like a giant armchair, with 28 kinds of ancient trees and famous trees inside, the trees are lush, the air is fresh, and the environment is elegant.

In 1931, the park was completed and a bronze statue of Zhao Sheng was unveiled. Liu Yizheng, a scholar and local, inscribed the six characters "Zhao Gong Boxian's Statue" on the front of the base of the bronze statue and wrote an inscription. It is now open for free. Boxian Park
