Introduction to Xie Gong Pavilion: Xie Gong Pavilion is located under the West Peak. It is said to be the place where Xie Lingyun watched the sea. According to records, this pavilion existed in the Tang Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, the pavilion was divided into two floors, with a stone statue of Xie Gong in the middle. The current pavilion was rebuilt in 1980 and has a hexagonal spire. It is located on the riverside and overlooks Lucheng in the south.
Xie Lingyun (385-433) was originally from Yangxia, Chenjun (now Taikang, Henan), and came from a prominent family. At the age of 18, he inherited the title of "Kang Le Gong" and had a settlement of 2,000 households. He was known as "Xie Kang Le" in the world. In the third year of Yongchu (422), Xie Lingyun served as the prefect of Yongjia. During his first year in Wen, he traveled around the mountains and rivers and wrote the poem "Climbing the Lonely Island in the River", which contains the wonderful line "The turbulent currents tend to be normalized, and the isolated island is charming in the middle of the river. The clouds and sun reflect each other, and the sky and water are clear and fresh." .
