Description
Built in 1999, the 500-acre[1] park features a collection of several hundred stone sculptures and carvings gathered from areas around Nanjing[2] of stone men and women, turtles, horses, tigers and towers.[3] The pieces represent different stone carving styles, eras and disciplines. There is also a variety of original intended uses, like public viewing, religious expression, home use and burial ornamentation.[citation needed]
