Hefei : Main Scenic Spots

The Xiaoyaojin Park lies in the northeast of old Hefei. It used to be a ferry on the Feihe River. The park was once the ancient battlefield in the period of the Three Kingdoms. It is the place where, at the time, Zhang Liao was known for and wide for his military prowess.

Bao Zheng, a famous official of the Northern Song Dynasty, was from Hefei. He has been admired by people from generation to generation for his honesty and uprightness, and for his strict enforcement of the law as well. The Bao Zheng Memorial Temple stands in the Baohe Park to the south of the city centre of Hefei. It was said to be the place where Bao Zheng once studied in his childhood. Inside the temple is a big bronze statue of Bao Zheng and also his portrait carved in stone in the Qing Dynasty. A number of precious relics concerning Bao Zheng and his life stories are well preserved in the temple. The Bao Zheng Tomb stands east to the Memorial Temple. Bao Zheng's remains are buried there. The foliage of flourishing trees shades the tomb garden. The tomb and the memorial temple form the memorial area of Bao Zheng.

The Ancient Military Drilling Rostrum near the Xiaoyaojin Park was originally Cao Cao's directing stand, which was used to train crossbow men. Now the Mingjiao Temple stands on it, where also lie the Over Roof Well and the Hearing-the Pine Pavilion. << Back to Hefei Info
