Located 1 km from Zhonghua Gate in Nanjiang City, Yuhuatai Interest Spot is a historical place with beautiful scenery. It consists of six areas - Scenic Spot and Historic Resort, The Martyrs Cemetery Area, Cultural Area of Yu Hua Stone, Cultural Area of Yu Hua Tea, Recreational Area and the Ecological Forest Area.

It commemorates Chinese revolutionary predecessors and also it offers beautiful scenery to see. Around the station there is a small market which sells local specialties.

There is once a beautiful story about the name. A Buddhist monk once spoke to a crowd there and his words were so pious that they touched heaven, flowers fell from heaven like raindrops (Yu Hua). The colorful stones in water are called Yu Hua Shi, which means raindrop flowers.

Yu Hua Stones are easy to find everywhere in Nanjing, but they don’t compare with those of Yu Hua Tai.
