Located on West Lake bank, the tomb is s a nice historical site well worthing a trip. Yuefei was a well-known general in the war against the Jin invasion in the South Song Dynasty. Yuefei proved to be a brilliant general, repeatedly defeating northern incursions. So the minister, Qinhui was so jealous of him that he persuaded the Emperor, Gaozong to order Yuefei back to the court. It was just the minister’s conspire. No sooner as Yuefei stepped into the court, he was captured and then executed by a wrong accusation of disobeying military order during his mission. The Southern Song court was soon collapsed for the treacherous conspiracy.

Gaozong exonerated Yuefei and built a temple, Yue’s Temple by the West Lake to commemorate this great patriot and his son (also killed). Subsequent dynasties all contributed to the compound, the temple now is composed of a group of buildings close to the tomb.
