He Miji Temple is located on Liuting Island within the picturesque and tranquil Yuehu Scenic Area in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province.

The temple was built in memory of the Tang Dynasty poet ‘Siming Madman’ He Zhizhang.
‘When young, I left home; now old, I come back, The local accent remains the same, but my hair has turned grey. Children meet me and do not know who I am; They laugh and ask where I come from.’ This poem, ‘A Casual Return to My Hometown,’ vividly captures the poignant emotions of an elder returning to his homeland after a long absence, making it a beloved classic that is still recited to this day.
