Hangzhou: Yue Fei Temple Entry Ticket Yue Fei Temple Entry Ticket+English-Speaking Guide

Explore the Yue Fei Temple in Hangzhou with this entry ticket. Learn about the life of Yue Fei, a national hero of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Yue Fei Temple of Hangzhou sits at the southern foot of Qixia Ridge on the north bank of West Lake, No.80 Beishan Road. As an essential component of the West Lake Cultural Landscape and one of China’s first batches of Major Historical and Cultural Sites Protected at the National Level, it bears the poetic scenic name “Yue’s Tomb Amid Rosy Clouds”. This solemn ancient architectural complex combines a memorial shrine and a mausoleum, dedicated to Yue Fei, the national hero of the Southern Song Dynasty. It carries the enduring patriotism and heroic spirit that has been passed down for nearly a thousand years.

The site consists of three main sections: the Martyrs’ Shrine, the Qizhong Shrine and the mausoleum area. Upon entering the main gate, visitors are greeted by a solemn atmosphere. Inside the main hall of the Martyrs’ Shrine stands a 4.5-metre painted statue of Yue Fei in military attire with a resolute expression. A horizontal plaque inscribed “Heaven witnesses my loyalty” hangs on the beam, and another plaque bearing “Recover our lost land” reflects the hero’s unfulfilled ambition. The west corridor houses stele inscriptions from different dynasties, including Yue Fei’s calligraphy and poems, as well as writings by later scholars, forming a precious collection of historical documents and calligraphy.

The mausoleum lies to the west of the Martyrs’ Shrine, surrounded by ancient cypresses and quiet greenery. At its centre is the Tomb of King E of Song, Yue Fei, next to the tomb of his son Yue Yun. The couplet on the gate reads: “Green mountains are honoured to bury a loyal soul; white iron is innocent to cast treacherous ministers.” At the foot of the steps in front of the tomb kneel four iron statues of Qin Hui, his wife Wang, Mo Qi Xie and Zhang Jun, condemned by visitors for centuries. On the screen wall are four powerful Chinese characters: “Serve the country with absolute loyalty”. The Qizhong Shrine has been converted into Yue Fei Memorial Hall, displaying abundant cultural relics and historical records that retell his life story, ideal for study tours.
