The Shrine Hall of Li Hongzhang

The Shrine Hall of Li Hongzhang is located on the southern side of the Heyu Road of Hefei city.

Built in the 28th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, the shrine hall of Li Hongzhang is an architectural complex beside his tomb for placing his spirit tablet, where the Li's family offered sacrifices to Li Hongzhang. It was proclaimed to be a cultural relic unit under the protection of the municipal government in 1985, and after restoration, it was opened to the public in 2003.

Covering an area of more than 12,000 square meters, the complex consists of a hall, a storehouse and a tomb. The entire shrine hall, together with the gate of the tomb, stands in the south and faces the north. There is a stone archway composed of 4 columns, 3 rooms and 3 towers, bearing the four big engraved characters written by Emperor Guangxu, “Jun Heng Du Hu”, which means “assuming heavy responsibilities and enjoying both felicity and longevity”.

Admission fee: RMB ￥ 15 per person
