Sugong Memorial Hall was constructed in memory of Su Shi, a prominent literary figure from the Northern Song Dynasty. It houses the remains of Shuangquan and Dongzhuo Pavilion left by Su Shi. This is a garden-style courtyard with a well-arranged layout of memorial halls, green trees, and blooming flowers, along with winding streams and the melodious sound of flowing springs.
On the left side of the Sugong Memorial Hall is the nearly 10-acre Qiong Garden, which contains Dongpo relics such as Fushu Spring, Suquan Pavilion, and Xixin Pavilion. Next to the Fushu fruit, there is a stone tablet embedded in a whitewashed wall, inscribed with the three large characters ‘Fushu Spring’. In front of the tablet, the clear and cool spring water fills two square wells. It is said that this spring was discovered by Su Dongpo. The spring water is pure, clear, and refreshingly sweet. After collecting the spring water, no scale is seen for over a decade. When used for brewing tea, it is exceptionally fragrant and has been known as ‘Hainan’s Number One Spring’. The spring water in the well is still clear to the bottom, but the gushing spring is no longer visible. Above Fushu Spring, there are Suquan Pavilion and Xixin Pavilion, which are said to have been built by Weng Ruoyu of the Ming Dynasty and Ye Rulan of the Qing Dynasty, respectively, inspired by a poem by Su Dongpo.
The Sugong Memorial Hall is open year-round from 8:00 to 17:30.
