Guīshàn

Guishan was the county attached to Huizhou, a city beside the Dong River in eastern Guangdong. West of the city lies a lake of winding shores, bridges, temples and gardens. The Song poet Su Shi lived in exile at Huizhou and wrote of its scenery; his companion Wang Chaoyun was buried beneath the pagoda by the lake. In 1801 the prefect Yi Bingshou rebuilt Fenghu Academy there, continuing the city's tradition of scholarship beside the water.
