Guangxi Liuzhou | Wen Temple Scenic Area | Escape the hustle and bustle of the city

Liuzhou Wen Temple was founded during the Tang Dynasty's Zhenguan period. In the tenth year of Tang Yuanhe (815 AD), Liu Zongyuan renovated the Liuzhou Wen Temple and wrote the 'Newly Repaired Temple Stele of Wenxuan King in Liuzhou'. After the Tang Dynasty, the Liuzhou Wen Temple went through several periods of decline and revival. In 1928, the temple was destroyed in a city-wide fire, and its main buildings were burnt to the ground. Since then, rebuilding the Wen Temple has always been a wish of the people of Liuzhou. In 2009, the Liuzhou municipal government rebuilt the Liuzhou Wen Temple on the west foothills of Lighthouse Mountain on the south bank of the Liujiang River, and listed it as one of the top ten cultural construction projects in Liuzhou. It stands gloriously with the lighthouse as its backdrop and the crane as its emblem, on the site of the ancient Han city of Liuzhou. If one climbs high and looks far, the cultural aura of Liuzhou will shine brightly, becoming an inviting place that beckons people to stroll through. It is an important cultural landmark building on the 'Hundred-Mile Liujang' scenic belt, and a classic among the more than 2,000 Wen Temples in China. It is a national 4A-level scenic spot.
