Xiandu Temple

Xiandu Temple, also known as Zhaohou Temple, Zhaohou Temple, and Wushanghou Temple, is one of the ancient temples in Jinyun Xiandu. Zhao Bing is enshrined here. Zhao Bing (1008-? AD), a Han Dynasty man, was proficient in magic and advocated cleanliness and simplicity. He used water flowing eastward to worship gods, peeled mulberry bark for sacrifice, used clear water to make fine wine, and used a knife to cut anything to make cooked meat. Fill a basin with clear water, you can see fish and dragons. When Zhao Bing traveled around Jinhua and Jinyun, the local area suffered from war and plague. Zhao Bing healed the people and saved many people. In order to commemorate him, the people built a temple for him here. After the emperor of the Han Dynasty knew about it, he conferred Zhao Bing the title of general and Wushanghou. Wushanghou was because Jinyun Xiandu belonged to Wushang County at that time. Zhaoyin Cave and Shenyi Cave also enshrine stone statues of eight divine doctors from ancient times to the present, blessing people with peace, health and happiness. Qinglong Rock: There is a giant rock at the entrance of Zhaohou Temple, which is shaped like a dragon's mouth. People call it Qinglong Rock, and it faces Dadu Rock across the road. On the west side of the rock is Tiyun Cave, where the ancient long pavilion of Qin and Han Dynasty is located, and it is also the only way from Taizhou to Jinhua. On the east side of the rock are Shennong Cave and Zhaoyin Cave. Look, the dragon head, dragon eye, dragon nose, and dragon mouth are covered with mist, which is very realistic. The ancients believed in gods, and they would throw coins here to predict good omens. Throwing one in was good luck, throwing two in was wealth, and throwing three in was peace. Swan Hatching Eggs: Opposite Zhaoyin Cave, there is a valley with a stone dragon coiled around, and many huge stones are piled at the entrance of the valley. If you look into the valley from Zhaohou Boat, the upper part of the pile of stones looks like a swan; the lower part is smaller and shaped like bird eggs. People named it Swan Hatching Eggs based on its shape. If you enter the valley and stand under the stone, you will see that part of this pile of giant round egg-shaped stones has cracked, as if they were cut by swords, so people call it Xianpoyan or Poguashi. This place is also a cave with ventilation on three sides. It is warm in winter and cool in summer. Especially in the hot summer, the temperature difference between inside and outside is nearly 10 degrees, which is a wonderful place to escape the summer heat. Films and TV series such as "Two Patrolmen", "Moya Dai", "Lianxinba", "The Book and the Sword", and "Nezha" have all been filmed here.
