Maria81 Says: Lu Guimeng was a reclusive poet of the Tang era. Most of the buildings of the complex were built as a commemoration as opposed to actually dating from the lime of Lu Guimeng himself, but still very picturesque, especially the pool and pavillion (on the site of what is...
Maria81 Says: Founded in year 503, Baosheng Temple is one of the top attractions in Luzhi. Despite rather turbulent history, the temple is well-preserved in terms of layout, although only a small portion of the rooms survived (it used to cover over half of Luzhi with 4,000+ rooms...
mke1963 Says: The highlight of the town of Luzhi, and its real treasure is the Baosheng Temple, first built in AD 503, but reconstructed many times. The present building dates only from the 1920s with large parts younger than quite a few pairs of socks of mine. I have things in my fridge...

mke1963 Says: 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...
mke1963 Says: I can’t make this map any better, given the limitations of VT’s maximum image dimensions, but hopefully it will provide a rough indication of the location of the main sites of Luzhi. The “entrance” is at the bottom of the map. I will post coordinates of the town for use with...
