About Jinhua Mountain & Chen Zi'ang Reading Terrace

Jinhua Mountain rises above the Fu River north of Shehong, with a Taoist temple first built in the Southern Liang dynasty and the reading terrace of Chen Zi'ang, an early Tang poet who studied here as a young man. The present terrace buildings were moved to the rear of the hill in the Qing dynasty, and a memorial hall to the poet stands nearby. It makes a quiet visit of temple halls and river views.
