Hairui Tomb is a key national cultural protection unit. Hairui, a famous official in the Ming dynasty, was born in Qiongshan and was known as "Hai Qingtian" (incorruptible official). The tomb was built in 1589 and it is said that when people was carrying Hairui's coffin, suddenly the rope broke, and then people decided that this should be the place. Hairui Tomb has an area of 3 ha (7.4 acre). In the middle, there is a high archway on which is written "Yue Dong Zheng Qi". The grave path is paved with granite and there are three memorials on the way. On the sides of the path leading to the tomb, there stands stone statue shaped like sheep, horses, lions, tortoises, and human beings. Hairui Tomb was completely built by granites at three meters and formed like an ancient bell. Evergreen trees are planted around the cemetery. Hairui Cultural Exhibit Hall is also in the cemetery.

A 19th-century coastal fort near Evergreen Park. You can visit the fort and see the replica cannons, underground chambers, and many banyan trees. The new museum in the middle of the fort presents the history of the fort and Chinese coastal defence in general, but unfortunately for those who can't read Chinese, everything in the museum is in Chinese only. A short summary of the history in English can be found on a plaque opposite one of the cannon emplacements.
