花径, Historical garden path in Mount Lushan, China
Huajing is a park on the summit of Mount Lushan in Jiangxi, about 2 km west of Guling Main Street along Dalin Road. It contains the Huajing Pavilion, a small round structure built over a boulder inscribed with the characters "Huajing," and the Jingbai Pavilion, a square pavilion nearby. A stone archway marks the entrance, and the park includes the Ruchin Lake, an artificial lake of 170 mu with an island linked by a zigzag bridge, as well as a replica of Bai Juyi's cottage.
In 817, during his term as Sima of Jiangzhou, Bai Juyi climbed Mount Lushan and visited the monks of Dalin Temple. Below the mountain peach blossoms had already fallen, while those at the temple were just opening, prompting his poem "Peach Blossoms of Dalin Temple". The area became known as Bai Sima's Flower Path, but as the temple declined it faded from memory. In 1930 Li Fenggao found a boulder inscribed "Huajing", had it identified as late Ming or early Qing writing, and built Huajing and Jingbai pavilions around it.
The path carries strong links to Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi, whose writings celebrated the flowers blooming here. Visitors walk through a place that shaped literary inspiration and remains connected to classical Chinese poetry traditions.
The park lies about 2 km west of Guling Zheng Street along Dalin Road. The stone inscription is sheltered by Huajing Pavilion, with Jingbai Pavilion nearby. Ruchin Lake, built in 1961, has an island linked by a curved bridge. The replica of Bai Juyi's cottage, added in 1988, houses an exhibition room.
The stone bearing the two characters "Huajing" that Li Fenggao found in 1930 is now sheltered inside Huajing Pavilion, a small round structure built for it. The inscription is attributed to a writer of the late Ming or early Qing period, and the Jingbai Pavilion stands beside it.
