Kaifeng - Terrace of King Yu (Music Terrace) Yuwangtai (Guchui Tai)

The Terrace of King Yu (Yuwangtai) lies in a park of the same name in the southeast of the city, south of the railroad line and 3km/2mi from the Temple of the Chancellor. According to tradition the legendary Da Yu stayed here while he was subduing the Huanghe. On the terrace stands the Temple of King Yu (Yuwang Miao). To the south there is a wooden arch on which hangs a small plaque with the words ''Ancient Terrace of the Musician''. Another legend has it that the famous musician Shi Kuang gave concerts here in the Spring and Autumn Periods (770-476 BC). For this reason the terrace is also known as the Music Terrace (Guchui Tai).

One of the halls is dedicated to famous poets of the Tang era (618-907) who composed verses here, such as Du Fu and Li Bai.
