Li Bai Memorial Hall

Li Bai Memorial Hall is a memorial building in Jiangyou with several exhibition rooms displaying calligraphy scrolls, paintings, and reproductions of classical Chinese poems. The spaces are connected by garden walkways that provide a pathway through the poet's life and literary contributions.

The memorial was built to honor one of the most influential poets of the 8th century, who emerged during the flourishing period of the Tang dynasty. His literary works shaped generations of Chinese writers and remain central to understanding classical Chinese literature today.

The name Li Bai means "great white" and is often linked to the white rocks in the surrounding landscape that shaped his life and work. Visitors encounter references throughout the space to his deep connection with nature and water as sources of inspiration.

The location is situated next to Qinglian Railway Station and is easy to reach on foot or by public transport. Admission is free, and visitors can walk through the exhibitions at their own pace or join guided tours that are available.

A famous story describes how the poet once tried to grasp the moon reflected in a river, a moment deeply rooted in Chinese folklore. The collection includes both written accounts of this anecdote and artistic interpretations of this legendary event from various time periods.
