Simalou (<div lang="zh-hans" dir="ltr" class="description zh-hans" style="display:inline;">司马楼</div>) on Liuye lake in Changde, Hunan, China. The name breaks down to "Sima", an official title in ancient China, and "lou", meaning simply "building". The first part of the name is a reference to Liu Yuxi (<div lang="zh-hans" dir="ltr" class="description zh-hans" style="display:inline;">刘禹锡</div>) a famous Tang Dynasty poet who served under that title for nine years in Changde. Behind the building is a statue of Liu Yuxi.
