Zhong Temple

This is a very wonderful temple, wonderful not because the temple itself is wonderful. But the place where it is built is wonderful. Most temples are built on the top of mountains, or at least on flat ground, but it is built beside a large lake, looking so inconspicuous, at first glance, you might even think it is in the lake. It is said that the temple was first built during the Eastern Wu period, and because it is located between Chaozhou and Luzhou, it is thus named "Zhong Temple". It has been renovated through the dynasties. Of course, Li Hongzhang must have been involved in it. Around Hefei city, which is now the surrounding area of Luzhou, any building with a bit of historical relics is related to Li Hongzhang, either he participated in the renovation or he participated in the construction. The scenery around the temple is quite nice in my opinion. To enter the temple, you need to buy a 10 yuan ticket, and right next to it is the boat that goes to Laoshan Island. But I didn't take the boat to Laoshan Island because several people told me that it's not worth the ticket price for the boat. After visiting the temple, I went to the nearby Zhaozhong Temple, then to the Li Wen'an Gong Ancestral Hall, which is the ancestral hall of Li Hongzhang's father. After visiting all these places, I wandered around the area for a while, and then I headed back home.
