Some places can be visited at any time regardless of seasonal or weather conditions, including Orioles Singing in the Willows, Twin Peaks Piercing the Clouds, and Evening Bell Ringing on Nanping Hill.

The second mascot Congcong is named after the jade Cong, a representative cultural relic unearthed from the Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu Culture.

The Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City, which date back 5,300 years, are considered an important representation of early urban civilization, with rice-cultivating agriculture as the economic foundation.

The site is also known for its abundance of ceremonial jade, which reveals a complicated ritual system and indicates a realm with a combined authority of deity and kingship.

In Liangzhu Ancient City Ruins Park, it is recommended to take a sightseeing bus for just over three hours, where you can enjoy many scenic spots, including the city gate and ancient wall, the Zhishan viewing platform, Mojiaoshan Palace, Fanshan Cemetery, West City Wall Ruins, Fengshan Research Base, Daguan Mountain Rest Area, Deer Garden and many other sites.

The Children's Archaeological Area in the park is popular as the younger ones can dig sand, paint, solve puzzles, restore ancient artifacts and pretend to be archaeologists discovering precious cultural relics.

The last one Chenchen, named after Gongchen Bridge with a history of more than 400 years, is a famous cultural landmark spanning the thousand-year-old Grand Canal.
