Liubeichi Park
流杯池
The Liubeichi, a winding stone channel carved in the Northern Song when Huang Tingjian was exiled to Yibin, copies the Lanting "winding stream wine cups" custom, and over a hundred cliff inscriptions from different dynasties line its walls.
Liubeichi is located in Liubeichi Park in Cuiping District, on the north bank of the Min River. During his exile to Rongzhou (present-day Yibin) in the Northern Song, Huang Tingjian carved a curving water channel into a natural stone gorge. Modeled on the Lanting "winding stream wine cups" gathering, it allowed him and his friends to drink and compose poetry as cups floated past. Later generations left more than a hundred cliff inscriptions from the Song dynasty onward on the surrounding stone walls. The site is a national key cultural relic protection unit. The park is lush with trees and includes buildings such as Fuweng Tower and Diaohuang Tower. Free to enter, and a visit takes about an hour. It is about 2 km from Hejiangmen, reachable on foot or by taxi, and works well as part of a half-day old-town route together with Zhenwu Mountain and Hejiangmen.
