| The Tomb of Yue Fei is set at the southern foot of the Qixia Hill, near the lake. General Yue Fei (1103-1142) was a national hero of the Southern Song Dynasty who distinguished himself in battles against northern invaders. He was sentenced to death after he was framed for crimes he did not commit. You can visit a temple containing a statue of the general as well as paintings on the walls outlining the story of his life and career; people often come here to pray respects to this heroic martyr. In the two side halls of the temple there are 120 tablets; the tablets are engraved with Yue Fei's poems. |
