What travelers say:

Qian's Ancestral Temple, more than 100 years old, is located in the center of Zhabei Park, the veritable treasure of the town garden. In 1918, in memory of the Wu Yue king Qian Xu in the late five generations of the Tang Dynasty, Qian's three brothers spent 50,000 silver, and built Qian's Ancestral Temple in Zhabei, suburb of Shanghai. The three-way hall covering an area of more than 800 square meters and white walls and black walls and horse head walls show the style of the famous gates in the south of the Yangtze River. After fighting and fire, luck was retained. After the 1950s, the functions of the surrounding area of the hall were adjusted several times and expanded to Zhabei Park to the east, which was included in the park map. The biggest point of Qian's Ancestral Hall is the well-preserved brick carvings on both sides of the main entrance and the inside of the building. The four characters of "Qian's Ancestral Hall" are dignified and simple, historical figures are lifelike, birds and animals are alive and flexible, and the flower patterns are exquisite. In the special times of unrest, the witty and ingenious good-hearted people, the door covered with paper tendons of lime, mop bricks, and wrote popular slogans, so that the brick carvings were saved. In the renovation project in 2007, the brick carvings were re-seen, and the Qian's Ancestral Temple was upgraded to a municipal cultural relics protection unit.
