Introduction to Su Gong Temple: Located east of Wobei Pavilion, it is a Xuan Pavilion building with the forehead of the pavilion written by the famous calligrapher Shu Tong. The temple was originally built before Penglai, and the time of its construction is unknown. There is a stone rubbing of Su Shi's portrait in the temple (made at Liuliu Temple in Guangzhou). There are more than 20 squares of carved stones from past dynasties embedded in the inner and outer walls. Among them, the regular script inscriptions on the inner wall include "Hai Shi Shi" and "Wang Hai" by Su Zai, "Guan Hai" by Xue Zhi, and "Hai Shi Shi" by Qing Dynasty calligrapher Weng Fanggang. The stone inscription "Viewing the Sea" is embedded in the east wall of Su Gong's poem. The poem was written by Xue Shi in the Ming Dynasty.
