Visiting Anguo Temple in search of Su Dongpo's footprints

Located under the Qingyun Tower, Anguo Temple has weathered a thousand years of wind and rain. Han Qi once studied hard in the west wing of this temple, eventually becoming a scholar and a famous minister. When Su Dongpo was exiled to Huangzhou, he often came here to meditate and cleanse himself, creating many poems and essays about Anguo Temple. Leaving Huangzhou, Su Dongpo's mood and poetry both experienced a qualitative improvement, which I think may be closely related to this thousand-year-old temple. So, I came here, following the footsteps of Su Dongpo. I was deeply attracted by the hundred-year-old hackberry tree on the top of Qingyun Tower... I couldn't help but marvel at the tenacity of life. It seems to understand why people are still attracted by Su Dongpo to this day. Perhaps what we love is not only his timeless poetry, but also his optimism, open-mindedness, and the courage to face difficulties, struggle, give up, wail... and finally move forward. 📍Detailed address: Huangzhou District, Huanggang City, Hubei Province ❤Recommended reason: Su Dongpo often came here when he was exiled to Huangzhou, a must-visit place in Huangzhou 👍Most recommended: Follow Su Dongpo's footprints, friends who love Su Dongpo must not miss it.
