Finally the Square Pagoda Park （方塔园）

After visiting the Xi Lin Temple, we have decided not to go for another attraction nearby the 清真寺 Islam Mosque. During the lunch we even came across our mind to end our journey after this Xi Lin Temple itself after considering the weather and also Ethan. At last we just go for it because we knew that next time visit to Songjiang District we will not have enough time again to visit this attractions. We actually hoped that Ethan will going to sleep on our way to Square Pagoda Park, but he didn't. So we have to bring him down with us again.

Again the weather was so hot, we didn't take family photo in front of the main entrance. We just wanted to quickly finish this visit.

Luckily inside the park has got lot of trees, so it let us avoid from the hot sun. We walked around and took some photos.

Welcome to China Expo sign

Seems it was so hot nearby the pagoda, mummy once again asked daddy to go and take the photo of pagoda and surrounding. Mummy once again sat under the tree with Ethan.

Due to hot weather, we just took a quick photo in front of the pagoda. Mummy and Ethan didn't explore the surrounding of the pagoda. Cannot blame them, it was simply too hot.

There was a temple in front of the pagoda. We just dropped by for a while due to the hot weather.

Besides this temple, there was a pathway to another attraction. Good things about it was that both sides of the road was full of trees. It was like heaven to us in this hot weather.

There was a building that held display of the history and things about a general who was sacrificed during the war time.

Ethan was so happy when we came to this place. There were pair by pair of rock statues side by side on the concrete path. The first we saw was the turtle but it was a bit broken so it was not safe for Ethan to ride. He tried to climb the sheep rock statue. From the photo he was so happy riding and didn't want to come down. We have to lure him down by saying that we will put him on the other statue. Only then was he willing to let us carry him down.

The second ride was a horse statue, it was quite high to sit on it. At first we were worried for Ethan's safety sitting so high but he just didn't care. He enjoyed the ride. He even laughed at other people not able to ride on the horse due to the height. Really cheeky boy.

From the photo, the horse ride was high

On way back to the main entrance

Ethan fell asleep after getting into the car. He was really tired after traveling to so many places in one day.
