Scale Guanyin Terrace View City

Baijuyi 772-846 Thousand homes in chessboard pattern, Twelve streets like vegetable plot. In distance faintly seen         they enter the Imperial Capital, One thin constelation         hangs over City gates to the west.

Bǎiqiān jiā sì wéiqí jú, Shíèr jiē rú zhōngcài qí. Yáo rèn wēiwēi rù cáo dà, Yī tiáo xīngsù Wǔménxī.

Notes: The question is; which 觀音台 Guanyintai? Huashan or Nanwutaishan? We locate this poem both places for now.
