Aiwan Pavilion

After visiting Yuelu Academy, we walked out of the back door of the academy and went directly to visit Yuelu Mountain. There are two ways to go to Yuelu Mountain. One is the way Huahuamao went directly to the mountain without passing Yuelu Academy when he first came to Changsha, and the other way is to go up the mountain through Yuelu Academy. Before climbing the mountain, we went to a very famous place: Aiwan Pavilion. Du Mu, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, once wrote a popular poem: "The stone path is slanting far up the cold mountain, and there are houses where white clouds are born. I stop the car and sit to enjoy the maple forest in the evening, and the frosted leaves are redder than the flowers in February."

Only in late autumn can we see the beautiful Aiwan Pavilion and maple leaves. Therefore, although the Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu's "Mountain Travel" is so famous, the Aiwan Pavilion in June and October did not make people want to linger too much. The pavilion stood alone in the middle, with lush green plants and many tourists who checked in, making it lose its mystery and only noisy. I don't know if we don't have the good eyes or the ancients' writing is better than reality, which makes people feel disappointed and regretful after high expectations.

With the Aiwan Pavilion as the center, there are several other scenic spots where you can check in and take photos without staying for too long.

The Aiwan Pavilion, located on the back mountain of the academy, is named after a poem by Du Mu. Its red leaves are picturesque in autumn and it is a landmark attraction in Yuelu Mountain.

If you want to go to the academy, you must go to see the pavilion.

(If you don’t go to the academy and Yuelu Mountain, there’s really no need to make the trip!)



But the truth is: there is no romance of "stop the car and sit to enjoy the maple forest in the evening" at all, there are only N young ladies in Hanfu posing for Douyin, and tourists holding Cha Yan Yue Se glasses and making victory signs.

By the way, there is a Cha Yan Yue Se restaurant next to it.

Aiwan Pavilion was first built in the 57th year of Emperor Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1792) by Luo Dian, the principal of Yuelu Academy in the Qing Dynasty. It was originally named Hongye Pavilion. Later, it was renamed Aiwan Pavilion by Bi Yuan, the Governor of Huguang, based on the lines from the poem "Mountain Travel" by the Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu, "I stop my car and sit to enjoy the maple forest in the evening, the frosted leaves are redder than the flowers in February."

The Aiwan Pavilion was built during the Qing Dynasty. The reason why it became one of the four famous pavilions is mainly because it was the site of Chairman Mao Zedong's early revolutionary activities.

In the early 20th century, when Mao Zedong left his hometown of Shaoshan and studied at the First Provincial Normal School in Changsha, he often visited Aiwan Pavilion with his classmates Cai Hesen and others. In 1920, Mao Zedong and Yang Kaihui fell in love, and the two often came to Aiwan Pavilion to talk. In 1955, when Mao Zedong returned to Changsha, he also invited his old classmate Zhou Shizhao to visit the pavilion again.

Aiwan Pavilion is located in Qingfeng Gorge of Yuelu Mountain on the west bank of Xiangjiang River in Changsha City, Hunan Province. It was first built in the 57th year of Emperor Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1792) by Luo Dian, the principal of Yuelu Academy in the Qing Dynasty. It was originally named Hongye Pavilion. Later, it was renamed Aiwan Pavilion by Bi Yuan, the Governor of Huguang, based on the poem "I stop my car and sit to enjoy the maple forest in the evening, the frosted leaves are redder than the flowers in February".

At the foot of Yuelu Mountain, outside the back door of Yuelu Academy, the Aiwan Pavilion stands quietly in the shade of lush trees, and is quite interesting to see from afar or up close. However, it is also a scenic spot with more meaning than reality.

Aiwan Pavilion was first built in the 57th year of Emperor Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty. It was named after Du Mu's poem "Stop the car and sit to enjoy the maple forest in the evening, the frosted leaves are redder than the flowers in February". It must be beautiful in autumn, but for a small pavilion, the flow of people is indeed too heavy...



We caught up with a team building of a fund unit. On the steps, people lined up to shout slogans and take photos and videos in one go. The historic building gave people a feeling of passing by a roadside hair salon to encourage employees... And the number of about 20 people was not very short, so it was a bit uncomfortable to occupy the steps... In addition, there was a student outing organized by a school, so I took a photo of everyone following the crowd and then left quickly. The reason why I took a photo was because I wanted to commemorate the mountain road I climbed step by step.

I came at the wrong time, and there were no maple leaves to see~~

Stop the car and sit on the bank. The maple forest is famous for its frosted leaves that are redder than the flowers in February.

Aiwan Pavilion is located in Qingfeng Gorge at the foot of Yuelu Mountain in Changsha City, Hunan Province. It was built in 1792 and is one of the four famous pavilions in China.

This Aiwan Pavilion has an allusion. "Stop the car and sit to enjoy the maple forest in the evening, the frosted leaves are redder than the flowers in February" refers to this place.

When you come out of the academy, you will find the Aiwan Pavilion, a must-see attraction.

Aiwan Pavilion is located opposite the back door of Yuelu Academy, deep in the Qingfeng Gorge at the foot of Yuelu Mountain. It was built in 1792 and its name comes from the line "Stop the car and sit to enjoy the maple forest in the evening" in Du Mu's "Mountain Travel". Aiwan Pavilion is known as one of the four famous pavilions in China, along with Taoran Pavilion, Huxin Pavilion and Zuiweng Pavilion.

I stop my car and sit to enjoy the maple forest in the evening, the frosted leaves are redder than the flowers in February.

It's right outside the back door of Yuelu Academy. If there weren't any celebrities here, it wouldn't be that great.

I came here because of its reputation, but its reputation is greater than its actual value. Maybe it was because the various external conditions at that time did not meet the artistic conception.

The Aiwan Pavilion was destroyed during the Anti-Japanese War, rebuilt in 1952 and overhauled in 1987.

It is one of the four famous pavilions, but when I came, it was snowing, and without maple leaves, the Aiwan Pavilion looked like an ordinary pavilion. There were so many tourists that it almost blocked the view for taking photos. Apart from the restored pavilion, there was no other scenery worth lingering.

One of the best places to enjoy the autumn scenery of red leaves in Yuelu Mountain

The Aiwan Pavilion doesn't look very old, and it should have been rebuilt in modern times, but it doesn't feel out of place. The important thing is that it is free to visit.

The best time to enjoy ginkgo: October to November. The best time to enjoy maple: mid-to-late November to early December. Tickets: Yuelu Mountain Scenic Area does not charge tickets (friends who are reluctant to part with the beauty of maple leaves can actually pick up a maple leaf to go back and make a specimen~) After passing the gravel road, after a few steps, I finally saw the "Love Evening Pavilion". The Love Evening Pavilion is located on a stone mountain that is neither high nor low. Maple trees are planted unevenly on the stone mountain. People keep going up and down the stone mountain to get the best angle to get the most beautiful maple leaf scenery. It only takes two minutes to climb up the stone mountain. (Even if it is a bit slippery on rainy days) Maybe it is because of hiding from the rain, the small Love Evening Pavilion is very lively. The continuous rain has formed a natural and short barrier for the pavilion. There are vendors carrying loads to sell fruits, friends with complete equipment, lovers with deep affection, and happy and innocent children. A pavilion is a small world. (Except for a few people smoking, which ruined the atmosphere... everything was beautiful.) I hope everyone has a wonderful "encounter" with Aiwan Pavilion~

A small landscape on Yuelu Mountain, one of the four famous pavilions in China, but the pavilion is just a pavilion, there is nothing special about the scenery, it is mainly cultural.

It is indeed a popular check-in spot. There were so many people that I couldn't take pictures of the pavilion. I could only visit it symbolically.

Waiting for the maple leaves of Aiwan Pavilion to turn red

Let's watch it together, okay?

It’s just a small pavilion, but it feels spiritual because of the story it tells.

Not bad, luckily it rained today, so there shouldn't be as many people as usual. There are some red leaves, if they were all red it would be quite beautiful!

This is where I have settled down and started my own family, and I want to love her well!

Forgive my limited knowledge. It feels like a pavilion. Nothing special. My friends and I walked for a long time before we got there. I really don't like it.

My friend got married, and I had the opportunity to go to Changsha for a stroll. It was the wrong season, so I didn't see the beautiful scenery of "Stop the car and sit to enjoy the maple forest in the evening, the frosted leaves are redder than the flowers in February", but the scenery was still really nice. Aiwan Pavilion is located in Qingfeng Gorge, Yuelu Mountain, passing Hunan University, and it is not long after walking.

When I went to Zhangjiajie and Fenghuang in 2010, I stayed in Changsha for a few days, and the only scenic spot I visited was Yuelu Mountain.

We arrived at the Aiwan Pavilion. On the sunny side, there were rugged rockeries and restless people. But when we walked up to the back of the pavilion, it was empty and there was no one.

The Aiwan Pavilion was first built during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. It was originally named "Red Leaf Pavilion" and "Aima Pavilion". Later, it was renamed "Aiwan Pavilion" after the poem "Travel in the Mountains" by Du Mu of the Tang Dynasty: "I stop my car and sit to enjoy the maple forest in the evening, the frosted leaves are redder than the flowers in February."

"Stop the car and sit to enjoy the maple forest in the evening, the frosted leaves are redder than the flowers in February." The name of Aiwan Pavilion comes from this poem "Mountain Travel" by Du Mu. The pavilion was first built during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty and was initiated by Luo Dian, the principal of Yuelu Academy. The pavilion is square in shape, with golden columns and red lacquer on the inside and four columns on the outside. The roof of the pavilion has double eaves and a pointed top. The four corners extend far and high, and are covered with green glazed tiles. It can be reached by walking up the mountain from the Dongfanghong Square at the south gate of Yuelu Mountain Scenic Area for about 10 minutes. You can also walk to it from the back of Yuelu Academy after visiting the academy along the mountain path.

Aiwan Pavilion was first built in the 57th year of Emperor Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty by Luo Dian, the president of Yuelu Academy. The couplet written by Luo Dian is engraved on the pillars of the pavilion, "The mountain path is red in the evening, five hundred peach trees are newly planted, the gorge is deep and green, a pair of trained cranes are waiting to be caged". Aiwan Pavilion is one of the four famous pavilions in my country. It was originally named Hongye Pavilion, and later it was renamed Aiwan Pavilion according to Du Mei's poem "The stone path is slanting up the cold mountain, and there are houses deep in the white clouds. I stop my car and sit to enjoy the maple forest in the evening, the frost leaves are redder than the flowers in February".

"I stop my car and sit to enjoy the maple forest in the evening, the frosted leaves are redder than the flowers in February." The autumn here is so beautiful that people don't want to leave. So when the poet Du Mu stayed here, he was reluctant to leave and couldn't help but write this famous poem that has been passed down through the ages. In autumn, all the maple leaves on the mountain turn red. Looking from the pavilion, it is so beautiful.

Although I describe it vividly, I haven't seen it. It's only summer now, but there are quite a few people seeing it, haha.

Stop the car and sit to enjoy the maple forest at dusk. Because of a poem, a scenic spot became famous. Aiwan Pavilion is located on Yuelu Mountain. It is actually a pavilion. But it is a must-see place to appreciate Yuelu Mountain.

There are signs all the way there, so it's easy to find. The Aiwan Pavilion is surrounded by trees. It's summer now, and the leaves are still green. It must be beautiful in autumn.

There were so many tourists that I just took a few quick photos and finished checking in.

Aiwan Pavilion is located near the South Gate at the foot of Yuelu Mountain. It was built during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. It was originally named "Red Leaf Pavilion/Aima Pavilion". Later, it was renamed "Aiwan Pavilion" because of Du Mu's poem "Stop the car and sit to enjoy the maple forest in the evening, the frost leaves are redder than the flowers in February". The pavilion is not big, but there are so many tourists who come to check in, breaking the original tranquility and comfort. If you have the opportunity, it must be beautiful to see the maple leaves in autumn!

When I read Du Mu’s poem “I stop my car and sit to enjoy the maple forest in the evening, the frosted leaves are redder than the flowers in February” in a book before, I always imagined what a pleasant picture that would be.

The Aiwan Pavilion, named after a poem, is full of imagination. Aiwan Pavilion is located in Qingfeng Gorge at the foot of Yuelu Mountain, standing on a hill. Before you get close, the three characters "Aiwan Pavilion" in red and gilded with gold come into view. There are many large stones piled in front of the pavilion, and many maple trees are planted around it. I heard that you can see maple leaves flying in autumn!

Aiwan Pavilion is surrounded by mountains on three sides and is open to the east. It is more than ten feet long and wide, with lush greenery and flowing springs. There is a pond in front of the pavilion, with peach and willow trees in rows. There are maple forests all around, and the mountains are covered with red leaves in late autumn. In June, you can't see the maple forest in Aiwan Pavilion, but you can enjoy the green scenery. It seems particularly quiet in the hot summer atmosphere.

One of the four famous pavilions, with different views from different angles

This pavilion is definitely famous, but I was disappointed when I walked in and saw that it was just an ordinary small pavilion.

Everyone is just a person. I took a standard tourist photo.

The Aiwan Pavilion is located halfway up Yuelu Mountain. It is very close to the foot of the mountain. It is only a short walk away. The surrounding area is lush and green.

There are people in front of the Aiwan Pavilion, but the green tree coverage and the appearance of moss here are very different from other scenic spots. It is worth a look.

The scenery is pretty good, there are many tourists, open photos

Looking across the lake at the Aiwan Pavilion, the green mountains and rivers surround it.

The Aiwan Pavilion looks even more poetic from a closer look. I memorized Du Mu's poem in primary school: "Stop the car and sit to enjoy the maple forest in the evening, the frosted leaves are redder than the flowers in February." I can finally see the real scenery. Although I can't enjoy the scenery of the mountains covered with red and the forests covered with dyes, the green also makes people feel the strong breath of life.

It was just an empty hilltop with nothing special about it, so we took some costume photos there and then left.

One of the four famous pavilions is Aiwan Pavilion. I don't know why this pavilion is so famous, it's just average in my opinion.

Although there were many people in Aiwan Pavilion, there was an inexplicable sense of comfort. My boyfriend's feet hurt, so we sat on the stone bench and rested for a while.

The red maple leaves are so beautiful, there is a breeze, perfect for daydreaming

I walked down from the top of Yuelu Mountain, step by step, along the bluestone path, with great difficulty, before finally finding the Aiwan Pavilion. My feet were sore from walking on the first day in Hunan. I cried!

It's just a small pavilion, which is quite disappointing, but it's okay after seeing it.

Stop the car and sit to enjoy the maple forest in the evening, this is a poem that has been passed down through the ages. This small pavilion is very poetic and picturesque.

Go straight 100 meters from the south gate of Yuelu Academy and you will arrive~

Uh (⊙o⊙)…Since you are in Yuelu Mountain, you must not miss the Aiwan Pavilion, but if you want to go there specially, it seems unnecessary. It is really just a pavilion and there are so many people.

I always think of the poem "Stop the car and sit to enjoy the maple forest at dusk". It is still very pleasant. The photos I am posting now are from 2012. I will post the photos taken today later.

A very historical place. A very meaningful place. The scenic spot is open to the public free of charge

Aiwan Pavilion is 100 meters away from the exit of Yuelu Academy. Because it is free, various tour groups come one after another. There are indeed red maple leaves, but there are not many. Coupled with the overcrowded tourists, the ancients lost the pleasure of sitting leisurely and admiring the maple leaves. You don’t have to come here specifically for this. Just take a look after visiting Yuelu Academy.

The maple leaves are partly red, which is already very beautiful. If they were all red, it would be even better! "Stop the car and sit to enjoy the maple forest in the evening" is not in vain, but it's a pity that there are too many people

The scenery is beautiful, but there are too many people~~~

I went there during the National Day holiday. There were so many people that I missed a lot.

It is 100 meters away from Yuelu Academy. I came here with the longing for the red leaves in early autumn, but I was disappointed. It is really just a pavilion. There are many tourists, all of whom rest in the pavilion. I will not come again.

Aiwan Pavilion is located in Yuelu Mountain Scenic Area. It is a small pavilion with ordinary scenery.

Feel the scenery in the textbook, it’s a pity that the maple leaves haven’t turned red yet

There is a small pavilion behind Yuelu Academy, which is quite exquisite.

Stop the car and sit to enjoy the maple forest in the evening, the frosted leaves are redder than the flowers in February. There is a sense of layered colors, it is so beautiful~

It's really just a pavilion, a landmark, so you still have to go and see it. The jelly sold there is quite unique.

One of the four famous pavilions in China, it has convenient transportation and is a place that allows people to calm down.

When I went there, the maple leaves were not yet red, so I didn't get to appreciate the mood of the poem. It felt like an ordinary pavilion. Maybe it's famous for its significance, but it turned out well in the photos. It's pretty beautiful.

“I stop my car and sit to enjoy the maple forest in the evening, the frosted leaves are redder than the flowers in February.” Coming out of the back door of Yuelu Academy and walking down the mountain, you will find the Aiwan Pavilion. It is just a pavilion, but the surrounding scenery of lakes and mountains is beautiful.

I like the scenery there, the towering trees, and the red maple leaves. Although they were not red when I went there, I could imagine how beautiful the red Aiwan Pavilion would be in October.

I was very familiar with this place name when I was in school. Now that I can see it, it is still a place with unique charm in my mind. The pavilion surrounded by lush trees makes me admire it. It is a place worth visiting.

In Yuelu Mountain, there is only a pavilion, nothing to see.

Stop the car to make love at the maple pavilion in the evening, the frosted leaves are redder than the flowers in February
