Tomb of Bai Juyi, Tang dynasty poet cemetery in Longmen, China

Bai Juyi's tomb, known as Bai Yuan, lies on Pipa Peak of Longmen East Mountain south of Luoyang. The peak rises over 30 metres, and its flat summit forms a pipa-shaped terrace where the tomb stands, facing the Yishui River and the Longmen Grottoes across the water, with Xiangshan to the south. The site covers 40 mu.

Bai Juyi (772–846) spent his last 18 years in Luoyang and asked to be buried at Longmen, where he had built Xiangshan Temple and opened Bajie Beach. The tomb was restored and enlarged between 1982 and 1985, and in 1961 it was listed among China's first batch of Major Historical and Cultural Sites Protected at the National Level.

The burial site is surrounded by monuments from Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, showing how Bai Juyi's poems reached readers across many cultures. Visitors can see today how different countries express their connection to this poet through their own memorial stones.

The visit is best during drier months, as mountain paths can become slippery when wet. Walking the grounds on foot is most practical since narrow trails wind through the natural terrain.

Bai Juyi was buried here by his own instruction, as he was deeply attached to the Longmen landscape. He had built Xiangshan Temple and opened Bajie Beach at Longmen, and lived in Luoyang for the last 18 years of his life.
