A few of them were built during German rule (1897- 19 14), and most of them were built in 1930. It is very different from the usual China City, with a large lawn and few pedestrians.

The southwest corner is lined with cypresses, and the paired cypresses are separated into "boxes". Many couples fall in love, so it is also called "Love Corner".
