Jigong's Former Residence
济公故居
The birthplace of the 'Living Buddha' Jigong (Li Xiuyuan), a courtyard in Song style in Tiantai County town that tells his life story and local legends.
Jigong, whose secular name was Li Xiuyuan, was a native of Tiantai in the Southern Song dynasty. He later became a monk at Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou, and became a household name for his eccentric image of tattered shoes and a worn-out hat. His former residence is on Chicheng Road in Tiantai County town. Rebuilt in Song style, it contains the Li Family Hall, the Jigong Hall, the Baihua Stone Hall and more, displaying stories of Jigong and related film and TV materials. Ticket prices follow the official announcement. It is located within the county town and can be visited on the same day as Chicheng Mountain and Guoqing Temple.
