Program: Wugong Temple / Tomb of Hairui
Depart from your hotel to visit the Wugong Temple, which is an attractive and intriguing Ming dynasty construction dedicated to five officials who were banished to Hainan during the Tang dynasty for criticism of the government in their work. Through different dynasties period, restoration and extension works were carried out to this temple complex with the inclusion of gardens, ponds and pavilions to beautify the complex compound.
Then visit the Tomb of Hairui. This tomb rests at Binya Village, Xiuying District, Haikou. Born in Qiongshan, Hairui (1514 - 1587) was an upright minister during the mid-Ming Dynasty. He was famous for his righteousness and royalty. Later he was being persecuted and was out of the emperor s favor and was exiled to Hainan Island. After his death, those people who admire his good works build a tomb for him. The tomb was built in 1589, the 17th year of Emperor Wanli s reign during the Ming Dynasty. In front of the main gate of the cemetery stands a high memorial archway on which four big red characters, "Righteousness in Eastern Guangdong (Yuedong Zhengqi)", were horizontally cut in intaglio. The 100-plus-meter-long passage to the grave is exclusively paved with white marble. And the exhibition room helps deepen the tourists understanding of this outstanding official in Chinese history. During the Cultural Revolution, the tomb was nearly torn down but now has been tastefully restored to its former glory.
