The main building of the ruins park is divided into the mausoleum ruins and the museum. The Emperor Yang of Sui Mausoleum ruins are located in the center of the park.

This building covers an area of 5,765 square meters, is nearly 80 meters long and wide, and 15.95 meters high. Its overall appearance is an inverted-bowl shape, which is a common mound shape for large tombs during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Statue of Emperor Yang of Sui: Located in the south gate square of the visitor center. The statue is made of copper, with the main body being 3.8 meters high. Below is a simple base. The upper part and sides of the base are decorated with dragon patterns from the Sui Dynasty, and the front has the inscription "Emperor Yang Guang of Sui." Based on records of Yang Guang's belief in Buddhism, lotus patterns from the Sui Dynasty were specifically chosen for the lower part of the base. Jingjian Pool: Located in the square in front of the mausoleum ruins. Jingjian Pool is a rectangular landscape pool, 49 meters long from north to south and 14 meters wide from east to west, symbolizing Yang Guang's 49 years of life and 14 years of reign. Both sides of the pool are decorated with north-south green slopes, creating an overall artistic conception of flowing water among mountains. On February 3, 2024, the Emperor Yang of Sui Mausoleum Ruins Park opened for a trial run. Emperor Yang of Sui Mausoleum Ruins Park
