Kongling An has a long history. In 769-770 A.D. of Tang Dynasty, the famous poet Dupu brought his family here by boat to sight-see Xiangjiang River and visited Kongling An, and he also expressed his wish to settle down here in his poem Odd to Kongling An. In 1804, the Qing Dynasty, Hu Guanjing Built Dugong Pavilion on the right side of Kongling Temple and caved Dupu’s poem Odd to Kongling An on it.
