Dianyi Garden (Beiyan)

点易园(北岩·周易园)

A Neo-Confucian heritage site at the southern foot of Beishan Ping on the north bank of the Yangtze, where Cheng Yi annotated the Book of Changes. The cliff inscriptions and Dianyi Cave are the highlights.

Dianyi Garden, originally known as Dianyi Cave and the Zhouyi Garden, sits at the southern foot of Beishan Ping on the north bank of the Yangtze, facing the old town of Fuling across the river. While exiled to Fuzhou, the Northern Song Neo-Confucian philosopher Cheng Yi annotated the Book of Changes in this cave. The site later became one of the key birthplaces of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism. The garden preserves Dianyi Cave, cliff inscriptions, a stele forest and the remains of the Beiyan Academy, covering about 54,000 square meters. It was rated a 3A scenic area in 2025. Tickets cost about 20 yuan. Allow about 1.5 hours for your visit. From here you can look out over the confluence of the two rivers and the city.
