An almost forgotten place, yet people flock here for the iconic photo spot

Studying ancient architecture naturally leads one to Guangrenwang Temple. Although not widely known or the most magnificent, it dates back to the fifth year of the Tang Dynasty's Dahe era. The single-eaved Xieshan roof preserved today is typical, simple, and unique. 🔥🔥 The entire scenic area is meticulously arranged, with pavilions and towers, and interestingly designed turns and pauses. You can take stunning photos here in no time. The name of Guangrenwang Temple is also intriguing. Located not far northwest of the famous Yongle Palace, this village is called Longquan Village. In the early years, a spring called Longquan emerged from the high ground north of the village, irrigating the fertile fields, leading locals to build a Dragon King Temple for worship. Inside the temple, the Five Emperors Dragon Kings are enshrined (as seen in the pictures, the statues are quite cute, possibly newly painted, very vibrant). Because of the Five Emperors Dragon Kings, the place was initially called Wulong Temple. It is said that Nuwa once conferred titles upon the five dragons, with the Azure Dragon God as the leader, governing all dragons, and was titled Guangrenwang. Hence, Wulong Temple is also known as Guangrenwang Temple. 🚗🚗 Driving there, there's no dedicated parking lot in front of the temple, you can park anywhere in the village. The scenic area is not crowded, you can register and visit for free, and take photos as you like.
