Places and local culture

Su Dongpo: an exile who helped build bridges

The poet and official Su Shi, better known as Su Dongpo, was exiled to Huizhou in 1094. He raised money for Dongxin and Xixin bridges to ease local travel, contributing a rhinoceros-horn belt given to him by the emperor. His local legacy is practical as well as literary: Su Causeway is among the places that still carry his story.
