Heritage sitesthe Qing dynastyAncestral halls Confidence: Qualified Standard Southern Tang Heritage Sites Han Xizai's Reading Terrace A Southern Tang terrace site on Wuxiang Mountain, proposed for the district's fifth batch of place-name cultural heritage The site lies inside the Wuxiang Mountain scenic area in Honglan Subdistrict. The Kangxi gazetteer of Lishui County, in its mountains-and-rivers treatise, records that the mountain holds a meditation temple built in the Tang, the site of Han Xizai's reading terrace from the Southern Tang, and a Guanyin image, adding that the old cypress and ginkgo were planted between the Tang and Song dynasties. Tao An's record of a visit to Longming Mountain, written by a man of the late Yuan and early Ming, notes the ruin of Han Xizai's reading hall and that the cypress he planted still stood, which corroborates the gazetteer. The gazetteer calls it a terrace site while Tao An calls it a reading hall; whether the two names denote one structure is not established by any source held here. The terrace appears in no list of protected sites at any level, so no protection level is given; it has however been listed under Honglan Subdistrict in the fifth batch of place-name cultural heritage proposed by the district civil affairs bureau on 3 June 2026, a place-name heritage designation that is separate from the protection of monuments.
