## About Five Lords Shrine

Coastal cities can also have a rich historical and cultural atmosphere, and a visit to Five Lords Shrine will bring this home. This renowned ancient shrine, built in Ming and Qing style, was erected to commemorate five famous historical figures who were exiled to Hainan Island during the Tang and Song dynasties. The scenery is especially enchanting in May, when the flame trees are in bloom. Su Shi is not among the “Five Lords”, but Su Gong Shrine, located next to Five Lords Shrine, is another major highlight of the site.
