Sculpture Park
Yuzi
Paradise is located in Dabu Village of Yanshan
District, which is 30 kilometers south of
Guilin city area. It was established in
1998 by Cao Rizhang, a Taiwan ese entrepreneur,
with an investment of about 300 million
CNY. Covering an area of 148 acres, it is
an ideal creation base and tourist resort
for spending holidays, with beautiful natural
scenery and artistic atmosphere. You will
feel as if entering a paradise of art once
you step into it. Inside the park, there
are numerous works of art created by world
famous sculptors over the years. The sculptures
are harmoniously placed and mingled with
the surrounding lakes and mountains.
Sculpture Area
Yuzi Paradise has attracted
more than 140 artists from 47 countries
and regions around the world to create their
works of art there. More than 270 pieces
of modern sculpture were kept and displayed
in the park. The creation of these sculptures
of various shapes and styles is the fusion
of Chinese aesthetic tradition and western
artistic essence, forming a delightful scene
with natural landscape and contributing
to making the park a valuable cultural and
artistic asset.
Teresa's Music Garden
Teresa Teng (1953-1995) is a
Chinese singer who is influential all over
the world and one of the most famous female
singers in the later half of the 20th century.
Teresa Teng¡¯s Foundation decided
to move the original Teresa¡¯s
Music Garden to the picturesque Yuzi Paradise,
and kept the relics of Teresa Teng in the
music garden. Teresa¡¯s Music
Garden is now the only place in the world
for keeping the complete record of Teresa
Teng¡¯s life.
The main architecture of Teresa¡¯s
Music Garden is triangle-shaped. At its
frontage, there is a bronze statue of Teresa
Teng and a flower bed where her music fans
can offer flowers and commemoration. Purple
flowers and grass, Teresa Teng¡¯s
favorites, are grown in the triangle field.
There are huge piano keys carved out of
black and white marbles. Teresa¡¯s
songs will be played when people stand on
any one of the piano keys. In the exhibition
hall, there are pictures of all her ages,
and her relics of clothes, cosmetics, accessories,
car and so on.
Artistic Creation
Seven workshops were established
there, including rock carving, metalwork,
porcelain, bronze, framed painting, colored
glaze and wood carving. This is the platform
for artists to realize their dream, and
also the best stage to display art lovers¡¯
creational talent and potential. The park
has designed some artistic experiences for
ordinary tourists to participate in, under
the professional artistic tutors, such as
stone painting, porcelain, colored drawing,
kite making and lantern making.
