• Taibao Park 

	The major sight within easy walking distance of the centre of town is Taibao Park . It is flanked to the south by the Wenbi Pagoda and to the east by the Yuhuang Pavilion . All three are worth a look . The Yuhuang Pavilion dates back to the Ming Dynasty and has a small museum next door to it . The good viewing pagodas in the park provide good views of Baoshan .

•   Yilong Pond   
  
  

  	There are paths in the park striking off to the north , west and south . The northern path doubles back to south and eventually takes you past a very mediocre zoo , keep walking to the south you will reach Yiluo Pond , also known as the dragon spring pond . The best thing about the latter are the views of the 13 tiered Wenbi Pagoda .

• Reclining Buddha Temple 
  
  

  	Just 17km north of town , the Reclining Buddha Temple is one of the most important historical sights in the vicinity of Baoshan . The temple dates back to the Tang Dynasty , having a history of some 1200 years . The reclining buddha itself , in a cave to the rear of the temple area , was severely damaged during the Cultural Revolution and has only recently been restored .
