Located by the Caizi Pool in the north of Leiyang City, Caihou Temple was originally the former residence of Cai Lun (AD 63-121), the inventor of papermaking in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It is unknown when Caihou Temple was built, but was rebuilt by Chen Zongyi of Zhizhou in Leiyang in the fourth year of Yuan to Yuan (1338). After several times of rise and fall, the existing building was rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty, which is simple and elegant. Covering an area of 408 square meters, it sits south to north and has a brick and wood structure. It is divided into three rooms and two courtyards. There are three single-slope small green tile roofs in the front hall, corridors on both sides, and the central axis is a corridor with a roof connected to the central hall. The stone forehead of the gate is "Caihou Temple", and the stone couplet: "The moon reflects in the Fangchi, so the house is preserved". The temple is 144 meters long from north to south, 76 meters wide from east to west, and is rectangular. The temples are all brick and wood structures, with the patio as the center, the hall and the two sides are flat, and the structure is a hybrid of the combination of piercing and lifting beams. The eaves is covered with green dragon and white tiger tiles, and the square bricks are laid on the ground. The roof is made of single eaves and Xieshan, and the arched head is fully carved with dragon floating. There is a Hangui plant in the temple, which is 9 meters high and 0.8 meters in diameter. It is tall and straight and green, and blooms in mid-autumn.
