Yan Ziling Angling Terrace

If you think taking a rest at the waterside, drinking a cup of Tonglu Kuding tea, and watching others fish are a great way to chill, head for the Yan Ziling Angling Terrace. It is located on the Fuchun Hill. Half way up the hill stand two giant rocks hundreds of meters high confronting each other. They are called the East Terrace and the West Terrace.

Yan Ziling, a hermit in the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD25-220), was a classmate of the emperor. He declined the latter's summons to assist him in his royal court and led a plain life, amusing himself by angling here. Later generations worship him as an intellectual who gave up personal fame and material pursuits.

Also check out Yan's Ancestral Temple, Kexing Pavilion, Shuangqing Pavilion, Cangbo Bridge, Qingfeng Lofty Study, the Stele Garden and the brook, which is famous as the 19th most beautiful of its kind in China. All these appeal to visitors a lot.

Tonglu county, the pearl of Fuchun River, thus has plenty of reasons to invite visitors from all over the world to appreciate its natural beauty and historic sites. One must also taste the unique delicacies of Tonglu county, such as Youfeimantou, a kind of fried bread sandwiched with beancurd with odor; Baiguogao, a kind of cake made of 100 fruits, and Youfeiguo, a kind of fried fruit.
