This attractive late Qing building is on the upper right-hand arm of the canals, on the north bank. The guidebook describes it as being “in Xintang of Nanshi”, suggesting that it might even be in a different town, province or even country. Neither Xintang nor Nanshi is shown on the town’s street map at the entrance. The structure is an attractive and simple whitewashed building with tall roofs and elegant wooden columns around the verandahs.

The photograph in the little guide book looks nice, but I had no idea where it was because the book doesn’t say and it doesn’t get shown on the town map. In fact it’s in the Baosheng Temple grounds. The book tells us that Lu Guimeng and his contemporary Pi Rixia were called “Lu and Pi”. We don’t get told who they were, what they did, why they were famous, why one of them has a special tomb, why Pi doesn’t or anything actually. In fact it might as well be the tomb of John Smithers and Bob Pearson. Who knows? You feel that there is a story that is probably very interesting but it’s just totally hidden.
