Brief information on Bai Garden  

Bai Garden refers to the mausoleum of Bai Juyi, a well-known Chinese poet lived during the Tang Dynasty (618-907).Bai Juyi was born in Henan Province and shouldered significant official positions during his life.  The mausoleum is located on the Pipa Peak about 13 kilometers south of Luoyang City, and lies across the river from Longmen Grottoes. The two mountains stood facing each other on the east and west side with Yihe River flowing between them like a long white silk flying in the air.

Covering an area of 7 acres, Bai Garden consists of four parts, the Green Valley District, the Tomb District, Poem Corridor District, and Administration Region. Stepping into the Qinggu District, travelers can observe a very beautiful natural landscape. The green bamboos clustered on both sides of the valley create tranquil and elegant surroundings while various pavilions of the Tang Dynasty style complete a charming picture. The main scenic spots here include Letian Hall with the statue of Bai Juyi, Tingyi Pavilion and Songgang Pavilion etc...

The Tomb District is on the top of the Pipa Peak, covering almost half of the garden. There are the hemispherical tomb, ancient steles, Monument House as well as cypresses, peonies, and other flowers and trees to make it more eye-appealing. The unique design made the whole tomb area look solemn and elegant.

To the northern side of the tomb is the Poem Corridor District that includes Daoshi Bookstore, Cuiyue Pavilion and lots of tablets. The inscriptions on the tablets enlighten travelers about ancient literature, history, and stories of men and event. In addition, plenty of masterpieces from Bai Juyi and modern China’s masters displayed attract numerous visitors.
