It's 38 degrees today, with the scorching sun on my head. I'm walking on the street, and my back is getting hot.
A beautiful woman with long flowing hair walked gracefully in front, covering her face with her handbag as she walked, saying that she had forgotten to bring a sun umbrella and that she needed to tan better. Perhaps due to the epidemic or the high temperature, not many tourists come to Baiyuan.

Climb up the bluestone steps and hear the tinkling sound of spring water. Bai Juyi liked Jiangnan gardens during his lifetime, so everything in the garden was built in the style of Jiangnan gardens, and the environment is very quiet. It is summer now, and the garden is full of green. Not only the trees are green, but also the green water.
There is a pavilion on the mountainside called "Tingyiting". Legend has it that this is the place where Bai Juyi and his friends Yuan Zhen, Liu Yuxi and other friends drank, talked poetry, played chess and drank tea in his later years. Just imagine, in the garden The beautiful scenery is picturesque, and a few old friends with similar interests are chatting and drinking together. It is so free and joyful.
Going up the "Tingyi Pavilion", a simple and elegant pavilion suddenly appeared among the green cypresses, with the inscription "Paradise Paradise". In the middle of the hall is a huge white marble statue of Bai Juyi, with a dove in plain clothes. The staff is so lifelike that it actually looks like a fairy.

Others say that Bai Juyi had been an official for many years and was well aware of the corruption and darkness in the officialdom. Below is the Yihe River, which is the most taboo place in the cemetery. Bai Juyi deliberately chose this place, not wanting his descendants to follow in his footsteps and cut off his family's official reputation. Strangely enough, after this, there were very few descendants of Bai Juyi. Be an official.
There are three tall stone tablets erected in front of the tomb. On the blue bricks of the stone tablets, the names of tourists are densely engraved from bottom to top.
