Little Stone Pond

Located by Yu Stream in Lingling District, Yongzhou, this is the site where Liu Zongyuan wrote "The Record of the Little Stone Pond," one of the "Eight Records of Yongzhou." Walk up Liuzi Street, pass Cobalt Mallet Pool and West Small Hill, and you’ll reach Little Stone Pond. It was once submerged by a reservoir but has since been restored.

It remains just as Liu Zongyuan described. Gazing southwest toward the pond, the stream winds like a coiling dragon or a winding snake, appearing and disappearing from view. The banks are jagged like interlocking teeth, making it impossible to tell where the source lies.

Location

In Yu Stream, Lingling District, Yongzhou City, Hunan Province
