It is a cultural tradition in Dali to build gardens in the ancient city of Dali. There used to be Moyou Garden, Wu Family Garden, Yang Family Garden, etc. Li Yuanyang, a Dali scholar of the Ming Dynasty, wrote in his poem "Ode to the Garden of the Wu Family": Ye Yu City is at the end of the Bijiang River, and the gardens in the city love to plant flowers; Wei Xiangdu's tomb is full of grass, so don't hesitate to step into the Jun's house.
In order to carry forward Dali's traditional cultural virtues, Dali City built and restored Zhidan Park in March 1995, and changed its name to Yu'er Park.
