The capital of the world is located on the city of Huoling, southeast of the county of the county of the southeast of Shanxi Province. It is rumored that Liu Xiuqi, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, was built more than 2,000 years ago. The Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasty were all repaired, and the existing main building complex still retains the original pattern. The whole temple sits north and south, and the majestic is on the south boundary of the Shangdang City on the mountains. The whole building is glazed and ridged, carved beams and painted buildings, exquisite and magnificent. The architectural style of the temple is a combination of the legacy of the past generations, and the carving style is different.
MoreTianxiadu City God Temple is located on Tianziling, a mountain 25 kilometers southeast of Changzhi County, facing north and south. It is a complete single-entry courtyard, facing north and south.
There are 108 steps of gravel from the bottom of the mountain to the front of the temple, which are very steep. Starting from the mountain gate, the theater, the offering pavilion, the main hall and other buildings are built on three-story platforms in sequence. The mountain gate and the theater are integrated into one, the theater is upside down, and the wing rooms are facing each other. The offering pavilion is three bays wide with a curved roof, the main hall is three bays wide and six rafters deep, and the hollow carvings between the beams and columns are lifelike flowers, birds, insects, fish, generals, knights and characters from drama stories. Tianxiadu City God Temple is now a key cultural relic protection unit at the municipal level.
Legend: It is said that there was only a small mountain temple on Tianzi Ridge. According to legend, Wang Mang usurped the throne and came to Tianzi Ridge to hunt down Liu Xiu. At this time, Liu Xiu was thirsty and had no strength to escape. Seeing that the pursuers were approaching, Liu Xiu ran to the mountain temple in a hurry. This mountain temple was dilapidated. When the door was tightly covered by a large spider web, Liu Xiu rushed through in panic, and the spider web was poked with a big hole. He entered the temple and looked back to see that the spider web was broken. He couldn't help but sighed: "Wang Mang, the thief, came and saw that the spider web was broken. He must have expected that I was in the temple, how could I survive?" Thinking of this, he knelt down in front of the altar and prayed: "Mountain God, show your spirit. If you can close the spider web and save my life, Liu Xiu will ascend the throne again in the future, and I will definitely make you the city god of the world!" When he finished speaking, he looked back and saw that the spider web had already closed, and the door was covered more tightly. Soon, Wang Mang, full of murderous intent, arrived with his men. Seeing no trace of Liu Xiu, he wanted to search the temple. He saw spider webs covering the door and no trace of damage, so he hurriedly chased after him elsewhere. Later, when Liu Xiu ascended the throne, he really named this place "The City God of the World", rebuilt the temple, and personally wrote the plaque. Tianzi Ridge was also called "City God Ridge". To this day, the five characters "The City God of the World" on the horizontal plaque of the temple gate can still be vaguely seen.

So far, the five words "the capital of the world" on the cross of the temple gate are still faintly visible. The temple has been renovated many times over the past dynasties, and the existing main building complex still retains the original pattern. It has become a unique and valuable cultural heritage in the Shangdang area. To visit here, you need to climb hundreds of stone steps to the square in front of the temple, and then climb more than 100 stone steps to get to the temple, which is quite physical. We played about 4 or 50 minutes, and then went to Jincheng.
Open for free, no tickets are charged. But I feel that the villagers are still very commercialized.
Many meetings can be opened, I really want to go there, I have a wish
Because the temple brings food, clothing and other playgrounds together, we love the fountain and the roadside stalls barbecue
