Huai River

Huai River is one of the four rivers in ancient China. In 221 BC, Emperor Qinshihuang ordered to build Huai Temple. In the following dynasties, emperors repeatedly raised the position of the god of the Huai River and the temple for sacrifices had been accordingly built with increasing magnificence. Emperors of following dynasties had paid many visits or dispatched envoys to hold the sacrificing ceremony. As a result, many steles were erected here with inscriptions written by emperors such as Emperor Kangxi, Emperor Yongzheng and so on. At the end of the Huai River there stands Emperor Yu Temple. In 1695, the magistrate of Tongbai County ordered to erect a stele in Huaijing Pavilion. Nowadays it has become a tourist destination to explore the source of Huai River and its ancient culture.
