The Avenue of Chinese Musicians features 12 different statues of Chinese Musicians on display.

Again, words cannot describe the whole park. The "musicians" is but one of several items to admire. If you plan on visiting and want to see most of the park, pack a small lunch, and bring water. Most of all plan to spend the better part of the day.
