It was first built during the reign of Emperor Mu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (345–361 AD). The original site of the Ancient Phoenix Terrace was surrounded by water. Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi, two great Neo-Confucian scholars of the Northern Song Dynasty, once studied here, which is why the terrace is also called Cheng Terrace. The natural and cultural landscape of "Moonlight Still Shines on Phoenix Terrace" is hailed as one of the "Eight Ancient Scenic Spots of Xiaogan" and is also a sacred Taoist site. Due to historical reasons, it was destroyed in 1968. Currently, some ruins remain, and Taoists have been gradually restoring and rebuilding the site, attracting many worshippers.
