Spread over an area of 21 hectares, the Flower Harbor (Hua Gang) is a well-designed scenic area. It contains the famous Red Carp Pond where thousands of fish swim in unison and viewing/feeding the fish is a popular pastime for visitors. The Peony Garden is an enchanting place for those who want to be one with nature. The site also has a pool where goldfish are bred and the spring season invites many migratory birds. The Flower Harbor extends into a dense forest and the entire area looks like a spectacular scene from a story book. It is little wonder that the Flower Harbor has inspired many authors, poets, and painters since ancient times.
