Líshí

Lishi is an old settlement in the Lüliang Mountains of western Shanxi, long known as the seat of Shizhou. West of the town, Anguo Temple occupies a mountain valley; its halls, towers, and pavilions include buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties. The future Qing official Yu Chenglong studied at the temple before entering government service, leaving a connection between its quiet valley and the wider empire.
