Erlang Temple is located within the new scenic area of Daming Lake and is a group of historic buildings. Since ancient times, Chinese folklore has told stories of the deity Erlang subduing demons and controlling floods. Temples dedicated to Erlang are commonly built near bodies of water to ensure favorable weather and smooth waters. Daming Lake, with its vast expanse, historically had an Erlang Temple, and the surrounding alleyway was also named after it. “East Gengdao, West Gengdao, Wangfu Pond and Erlang Temple”—this folk rhyme has been widely passed down. The rebuilt Erlang Temple houses statues of Erlang, his celestial dog Xiaotianquan, the Six Heroes of Meishan, as well as murals depicting the legendary tales of Erlang.
