Temple of Guan Yu in Xiezhou Pictures

The Guan Yu Temple is on a large scale with magnificent architectural complex.

The largest Guan Yu Temple in China is situated in the west area of Xiezhou Town, about 15 kilometers southwest from Yuncheng City. Xiezhou is the hometown of Guan Yu, the famous general during the Three Kingdoms Period (220 - 280). The temple was originally built in 589 AD, in the early years of the Sui Dynasty. From Song Dynasty to Ming and Qing Dynasties, as more and more posthumous titles were conferred on Guan Yu, the temple was extended and renovated for many times. It also boasts many cultural relics, such as exquisitely engraved stone arches, iron censors and massive tripods.
