Yuncheng | Ruicheng Guangrenwang Temple

After a 2-hour drive plus a half-hour walk, the result! The temple was closed for maintenance 😭 Fortunately, the security guard at the door was super nice. After a half-hour of quietly negotiating with me... "Alright! I'll open the door for you!" 🔑 (The way he turned around to unlock it was absolutely cool!!) 🏮 This mysterious ancient temple is no ordinary site: one of only 3.5 surviving Tang Dynasty buildings nationwide! Although its exterior no longer shows the glory of the High Tang period, those giant dougong brackets still exude power, as if silently declaring: "This is the last prestige project of the Great Tang!" ☀️ Guangrenwang Temple looks amazing under the sunlight: the vermilion wooden beams against the blue sky are stunning! The layered dougong brackets under the eaves make every casual photo a classic ancient-style shot 📸 📍 Practical information: Address: Yongle Town, Ruicheng County, Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province (Cultural relic protection unit; opening status needs to be confirmed in advance) 💡 Tips: 1. It is recommended to drive yourself or hire a car 2. Bring enough water and sun protection 3. Respect the cultural relics and speak softly 4. If you're lucky, you might meet a security guard like mine hhh
