Qingyunpu lies near the Dingshan Bridge in the southern outskirts of Nanchang. In the eighteenth year of the reign of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1661 AD), Badashanren came here to seclude himself from society, and the name of Qingyunpu was first used. The Badashanren Memorial Hall was set up in 1959.
