To settle in Yongzhou, I actually bought a house there

1 Liuzi Temple (P3) Visiting duration: 1-1.5 hours Admission: 25 yuan Highlights: The stage on the gate of Liuzi Temple has a beautiful overall design. Two coiling dragons are carved out in relief on the main ridge, and the corners of the eaves are upturned, each decorated with lion or dragon-shaped stone carvings. Above the second layer of eaves, there are carvings of the Eight Immortals and Laozi, which give the eaves a high artistic value. Inside the temple, there are four exhibition halls introducing the life and deeds of Liu Zongyuan, as well as a hall with stele inscriptions copied from various districts and counties of Yongzhou, all worth a visit, and you can also listen in on the explanations others have paid for. 2 Gubu Tan - Xi Xiaoqiu - Xiaoshitan Site (P4-P6) Visiting duration: 0.5-1 hour Admission: Free Highlights: Turn right out of Liuzi Temple and walk straight ahead on Liuzi Street for about 5 minutes, and you'll arrive at the place where Liu Zongyuan wrote 'Gubu Tan Ji', 'Xi Xiaoqiu Ji', and 'Xiaoshitan Ji'. It is actually just following Yu Creek upstream. Here you can look across the ages at Liuzi while comparing these three essays. This place is very quiet, in stark contrast to the noisy and bustling Lingling Ancient City. 3 Lingling Wen Temple (P7-P9) Visiting duration: 0.5-1 hour Admission: Free Highlights: Lingling Wen Temple is located in a small alley next to the main gate of Lingling Middle School, which is currently under repair, and there are very few tourists. This Wen Temple is not as complete as Ningyuan Wen Temple, with only one Dacheng Hall and two steles behind it. The corridor in front of Dacheng Hall has four relief-carved dragon and phoenix stone columns and two openwork dragon-patterned wooden columns, with cute carvings of fairy deer and lions on top of the stone columns. A whole beam above the columns is carved with several long dragons, making the whole structure exquisitely gorgeous. The caisson ceiling paintings inside the hall were painted in the 1980s and are brightly colored. 4 Yongzhou Wu Temple (P10) Visiting duration: 0.5 hour Admission: Free Highlights: Wu Temple is located inside Dongshan Park, most of the buildings are modern reconstructions, only the main hall of Wu Temple is an ancient building from the late Qing Dynasty. The main hall is relatively simple, without too much decoration. In front of the hall, there is a Baosha, and the corridor has two carved bluestone columns with dragons holding treasure beads in their mouths. The dragon heads are huge and are the largest stone-carved dragon heads I've seen in Yongzhou.
