Guan Di Ancient Temple Huguo Temple

Guan Di Ancient Temple Huguo Temple is a cultural tourism attraction.

Shenyang Ertaizi Guan Di Ancient Temple Huguo Temple (Guan Di Temple) is located in Ertaizi Village, Qianjin Township, Dongling District, Shenyang City. According to the *Shenyang County Annals*, "the Guan Di Ancient Temple in northern Shenyang’s Ertaizi, eight li from the city, was built during the Tang Dynasty," covering an area of 3,318 square meters. The ancient temple is situated on a hillside, with uniquely styled temple architecture nestled among green trees, offering a tranquil and serene environment that carries a touch of mystery. The *Shengjing Tongzhi* also refers to it as "the Guan Di Temple in northern Ertaizi, a renowned temple."

Since its construction during the Tang Dynasty, the temple has undergone repairs and expansions in successive dynasties. Prior to the Cultural Revolution, the ancient structure remained largely intact but was demolished during that period.

To unearth this historical and cultural landmark and restore its original appearance for the people of Shenyang, with approval from relevant municipal departments, the project was jointly developed by the organizing entities: the People's Government of Qianjin Township, Dongling District, Shenyang; Shenyang Ertaizi Agricultural, Industrial and Commercial Joint Company; and Liaoning Dazong Tourism Development Co., Ltd. On the basis of restoration, the site was expanded. It has now become a religious culture-focused tourist scenic area with a unique style, influencing the entire northeastern China region and extending its reach to Southeast Asia.
