Seyuan is the cemetery of Mr. Zhang Jian, the number one scholar in the late Qing Dynasty and a famous industrialist and educator in modern my country. It is an important part of Langshan Scenic Area.

Mr. Zhang Jian died of illness on August 24, 1926. He was buried in this garden on November 1 of the same year. Because Zhang Jian was named "Shi'an", it was formerly called "Shi Cemetery". In 1935, his son Zhang Xiaoruo died and was buried on the east side of Zhang Jian's tomb.

Zhang Jian’s tomb is located at the northern end of the central axis of the whole park. To the southeast of the tomb is the "Zhang Family Restaurant", which was built in 1927. It is a courtyard-style building with an octagonal pavilion at the back, covering an area of ??380 square meters. It has blue brick and pink walls, tiled walls, and a moon-shaped door for entry and exit. The hall once displayed portraits of Zhang Jian, poems, calligraphy, and elegiac couplets written by people from all walks of life. In the middle of the cemetery, on the right side of the dining hall is the "rest hall", which was built by Zhang's descendants and covers an area of ??127.37 square meters. When it was completed in 1956, Guo Moruo once inscribed a plaque "Mr. Zhang Jizhi Memorial Hall" as a gift. This plaque was lost during the "Cultural Revolution". Today, Seyuan has turned this hall into a special room to briefly display Zhang Jian's life of struggle with precious historical pictures, because the patriotism and pioneering spirit that ran through Zhang Jian's life are always worthy of our inheritance and promotion. In front of Zhang Jian's tomb, there is a stream behind the "rest hall". Because Zhang Jian loved raising cranes during his lifetime, there are several white cranes of different shapes carved in the small pond on the west side of the stream. The waterside pavilion not far from the crane sculptures is called "Songhe Pavilion". After leaving the pavilion and climbing the rockery to the north, there is "Biyun Pavilion". "When you climb up to the pavilion and look around, you can have a panoramic view of the entire garden. There is a "Wanghe Pavilion" built on the east side of the stream.

Seyuan is also a natural botanical garden with more than 10,000 trees of 59 families and 140 species. There are not only common flowers and trees, but also rare Japanese cedar, century-old cypress and other valuable trees. There are not only misty lawns, but also verdant bamboo gardens that cover the sky.
