Yuncheng trip 2024: Wanrong Ji King Temple.

There is a Ji King Temple in almost every county in Yuncheng. Wanrong Ji King Temple is located in Taizhao Village, Wanrong County. It is a national protected site and free to visit. Wanrong Ji King Temple is not large, with only two main buildings: the opera stage (photo 2) and the main hall (photo 3). The opera stage was built in the Yuan Dynasty and renovated in the Republic of China. The main hall is the only existing Song Dynasty building with a hipped roof in China, and is the most exquisite part of the temple. There are no large beams inside the hall, so it is commonly known as the "beamless hall." The paintings on the brackets under the eaves are still clearly visible (photo 10). There is an ancient bell from the Song Dynasty in front of the main hall (photo 11), which can still be rung. There is also a colorful coiled dragon column (photo 12).
