Bóluó

Boluo lies beside the Dong River in eastern Guangdong, beneath the slopes of Mount Luofu. The mountain is a celebrated Daoist retreat, associated with the alchemist Ge Hong, who lived there during the Eastern Jin. Chongxu Temple developed from a hermitage attributed to him. In the Ming, the philosopher Zhan Ruoshui visited the temple and explored the mountain with friends, adding his own account to the long tradition of travellers drawn to Luofu.
