Yan ziling Angling Terrace, a Historic Site of the Eastern han Dynasty


Yan Ziling Anglng Terrace is located on the Fuchun River with numerous stretching out with magnificent eaves against green hills. Half way up the hill stand two giant rocks confronting each other hundreds of meters high. They are called the East Terrace and the West Terrace.
Mr. Yan Ziling, a hermit in the Eastern Han Dynasty ,had been a classmate of the emperor. He declined the latter's summons to assist him in his royal court and led a plain living, amusing himself by angling here. Later generations worship him as intellectuals' model for being aloof from personal fame and material pursuits, so mourners have been coming here in endless treams.
There are Mr. Yan's Ancestral Temple, Kexing Pavilion, Shuangqing Pavilion, Shuangqing Pavilion, Cangbo Bridge, Qingfeng Lofty Study, the Stele Garden and the brook which has the fame of being the 19th most beautiful of its kind throughout China. All these appeal to visitors very much.
