Poems on pillars

The park's has a collection of over 1,000 statues and 150 giant tableaux centered around Chinese folklore, legends, history, and Confucian ideology.

 

On the pillars is a poem couplet written by Yu Da Fu, aptly describing Haw Par Villa then.

 

In the quietness of the hills amidst the rolling white clouds

 

There stand a bright glorious house like blossoming flower petals

 

You can see the vast and clear blue ocean

 

And grazes into the and ripples of the sea waves in the far horizon
