Wangjiang Tower Park lies on the south bank of Jinjiang River, one of three famous cultural relics in Chengdu of China Maps. Wangjiang Tower is dedicated to a woman, Xue Tao, a poet in the Tang Dynasty (618-907). Since in the past women had low social status, the story of Xue Tao is all the more fascinating, along with Wuhou Memorial Temple and the Thatched Cottage of Du Fu. Xue Tao was born in a turbulent society so her father named her "tao" wave in Chinese. She led a hard life after her father's death, eventually becoming a singer. History records that she wrote about 500 poems in her life.

The most exquisite and magnificent structure in the park is Chongli Pavilion along Chengdu travel, also known as Wangjiang Tower. It was reconstructed during the late Qing Dynasty and has four stories with a total height of over 30 meters (100 ft.). It is beautiful with a square upturned eave on the two lower stories and an octagonal eave on the upper two stories, vermilion columns, glazed tiles and gilt cupola. It stands by the side of Jinjiang River, hence the name "Wangjiang" (Overlooking the River). Surrounded by nature and a window to the past, it has become a symbol of Chengdu.

Elsewhere in the park you'll find a teahouse included by Chengdu tour packages serving drinks made with water from the on-site Xue Tao Well, as well as a variety of other graceful halls and pavilions, with names like Yinshi (Poem Chanting), Wuyunxian (Five Fairy Clouds), Quanxiang (Fragrance of Spring), and Huanjian (Paper Washing). That last is a reference to another of Xue Tao's talents: besides being an acclaimed poet, she also invented a delicate kind of colored paper (also using water from the well), that was superior to the coarse yellow paper in use at the time.
