Qu Qiubai
Hongmei Pavilion was built between Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty, dating back a thousand years of history. Now the Hongmei Pavilion is the reconstruction of the Qing dynasty. The whole building is stately, imposing and unsophisticated, rare to see in other pavilions in general. Each time when spring comes after winter, red plums are in full bloom. Visitors come in a continuous stream, appreciating the plum or overlooking the snow-covered landscape. Opposite the Hongmei Pavilion is the remains of a rare ice ages, Plum Stone. Zhao Yi,a famous Changzhou poet in Qing Dynasty, praised the beauty of Hongmei Pavilion through his poem. Early leaders Qu Qiubai and Zhang Tailei used to go to Hongmei Pavilion to read books and enjoy the scenery. There is also a "Changzhou historical celebrity gallery" in Hongmei Pavilion's upstairs, displaying life stories of Changzhou heroes, such as Qu Qiubai, Zhang Tailei and Yun Daiying. Plum Park in December 2007 was awarded of the title of national AAAA level scenic spots by the National scenic quality rating, following the Tianmu Lake Scenic Area, Mao Mountain Scenic Area, China Dinosaur Park, Tianning Temple and Nanshan Bamboo Park.
