He wrote important works such as "Ode to Red Cliff" and "Nian Nujiao·Remembering the Past of Red Cliff" here. Huizhou was the second place where Su Shi was banished. He had done many good deeds that were praised by the people here, such as improving the level of medicine, improving taxes, and strengthening military discipline. Danzhou was the last place where Su Shi was banished. It was a wild place on Hainan Island, where Su Shi lived a difficult life.

In Huizhou, Su Shi was doing well. After Zhang Dun heard about it, he demoted him to Danzhou, which was further away. Danzhou was a wild place on Hainan Island, where Su Shi spent his later years. Although it was unfortunate to be relegated three times, these experiences became opportunities for Su Shi, making him the Su Dongpo we know, with a lovely personality and admirable works.
