The Temple of the Five Immortals
(Wuxianguan) is located on Huifu Xi Lu. This Temple was built
in the tenth year of the reign of Emperor Hongwu in the Ming
Dynasty (1377) as a temple for worshipping the five immortals
believed to be responsible for good (or bad) harvests and the
symbol of the city. The temple gate faces north, which is
considered good fortune for religious constructions. This is a
well maintained building and there are some delicate and
intricately carved steles inside. To the east of the back hall
there is a bare layer of red-colored sand, on which are
footprints. Legend has it that these are the marks left by the
immortals.
Address: The Temple is situated off
Jiefang Zhong Lu on Huifu Xi Lu in the center of
town. Opening hours:9am-12pm and 1.30pm-5pm.
