About Migong Temple
A shrine on the north bank of the Han River in Fancheng, first built in the Yuan dynasty, enlarged in the Ming and rebuilt in the Qing, and dedicated to the Northern Song calligrapher Mi Fu, who took the sobriquet 'Idle Scholar of Xiangyang'. The four-courtyard compound covers about 16,000 m² and includes a worship hall dating from 1693, the Baojin Hall of 1866, and a collection of stone tablets with 58 steles and 45 carved copies of Mi Fu's calligraphy. It suits calligraphy lovers and anyone strolling the Fancheng riverfront.
