About Shusheng Cultural Street

Jiezhu Temple and the Ink Pool are associated with his former home in local tradition, while Tishan Bridge carries another story linked with his writing. The surviving lanes and domestic buildings provide a setting beyond the famous name. Walk the public streets between these landmarks, treating the commemorative stories as cultural associations rather than proof that every present structure dates from his lifetime.

What to look for

  • Jiezhu Temple and the Ink Pool form the principal Wang Xizhi commemorative setting.
  • Tishan Bridge connects the calligraphy tradition with the neighbourhood’s waterways.
