Su Dongpo's Red Cliffs

In Huanggang City, Hubei Province, there is a rather special scenic area known as "Su Dongpo's Red Cliffs," which is different from the ancient battlefield of Chibi in Xianning City, with vastly different connotations. Su Dongpo's Red Cliffs is where Su Dongpo was demoted to Huangzhou to serve as the deputy commander of the local militia. From the title alone, one can guess it was a relatively low-level official position, but Su Dongpo was, after all, an optimistic and renowned scholar. During his more than four years in Huangzhou, he managed to write two prose compositions and one poem, which might represent the pinnacle of his poetic achievements. However, the real battlefield of Chibi, located 100 kilometers away from Huangzhou, was a place of actual warfare... The core area of Su Dongpo's Red Cliffs is not very large, but it is extremely exquisite and worth visiting, featuring attractions like "Su Dongpo's Shrine" and "Heavenly Spring"... Looking through the core area, it seems to be under expansion, which feels somewhat unnecessary.
