Package Park is one of Hefei's major attractions, including the Package Temple, the Package Tomb, Qingfeng Pavilion, and Zhuang. The architectural complex is located on the banks of the Hefei City south (protective river). This river is named Package River due to the Package Temple and Tomb. The riverside has a jade bridge and weeping willows, with beautiful lights in the evening. The Package Zuoshi Temple (Hall of Package) tells the story of Bao Shu's life, his rise through government, and its spread in folk tales, including stories like the 'Star Falls Down to Teach', 'The Trial of the Fat Man', 'The Fox and the Rabbit', and 'Five Rats Riot in Tokyo'.
