Xiangshan Park 相山公园

About Xiangshan Park

The temple’s foundation is dated to the Western Jin dynasty in 284, while its surviving structures are Qing buildings arranged around three courtyards. Locally it is often called Xiangshan Temple. In the Yushu Pavilion, a stone inscription preserves the Qianlong emperor’s calligraphy Hui wo nan li; the original hanging plaque has been lost. The inscription belongs to the temple’s eighteenth-century rebuilding history and local concern with flooding.

The park also has a cultivated urban landscape around this older religious centre. Privet trees line East Avenue, and cedars form a grove by the East Gate, adding tree-lined approaches to the temple and hillside setting.

What to look for

• Xiantong Temple’s sequence of three courtyards and Qing architectural structures.
• The stone copy of Qianlong’s Hui wo nan li inscription in the Yushu Pavilion.
• The privet-lined East Avenue and cedar grove at the East Gate.

Location & getting there

Getting to Xiangshan Park

Check weather, trail access and the last return service. A mountain or forest area is not one entrance, and a map’s central pin may be far from the trailhead.
