We present recent results from the BES experiment on the observation of the Y(2175) in J/ψ→ϕf0(980)η, and η(2225) in J/ψ→γϕϕ, and X(1440) in J/ψ hadronic decays, together with the new observation of ψ(2S) radiative decays and hadronic decays into n\ks\ldb+c.c.,\ld\ldbπ0,\ld\ldbη. The effort to search for J/ψ decays into γγ and invisible decays are also reported.
