Liuzhou - Prince Liu Park Liuhou Gongyuan
This park in the city center is named after Liu Zongyuan. He was granted the title of prince posthumously by the Song Emperor Huizong at the beginning of the 12th C.
In the park there are two monuments which commemorate the poet: the Ancestral tomb of Prince Liu (Liuhou Ci), which in fact only contains his head covering and a few articles of clothing, and the Ancestral temple of Prince Liu, built in 821 and rebuilt in 1729. A large number of old stone slabs with inscriptions by scholars from the Tang, Song and Yuan periods (9th-13th C) are stored here, as well as a portrait of Liu Zongyuan engraved on a stele.
