Gansu|Pray___Check in at Fuxi Temple~

|Pray___Check in at Fuxi Temple~. Fuxi Temple, also known as Renzong Temple, was built between the 19th and 20th years of the Ming Dynasty (1483-1484), and has undergone nine renovations to form the grand architectural complex it is today. This temple is not only the temple in China that has a statue of Fuxi, but also the place of worship for Fuxi, the first emperor in ancient legends. Fuxi Temple is built along the street, with courtyards nested within each other, four entrances and four courtyards, vast and deep, demonstrating the solemnity and majesty of traditional Chinese architecture. The ancient buildings in the temple include the theater building, the archway, the main gate, the ceremonial gate, the Xiantian Hall, the Taiji Hall, the bell tower, the drum tower, the Laihe Hall, etc., a total of 10 buildings, each carefully crafted and unique. The entire architectural complex faces north to south, advancing layer by layer, showing the charm of architectural art. Every year on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, which is Fuxi's birthday, people from the surrounding area will come here with their old and young to worship and sacrifice to the 'Ancestor'. On that day, the precious candles are brilliant, the incense is lingering, the bells and drums are ringing, the good men and women are extremely devout, and the temple is filled with a solemn and solemn atmosphere. Fuxi Temple is not only a holy place for ancestor worship, but also a place for cultural inheritance. Here, people can feel the weight of history and culture, and experience the power of faith and devotion.
