Xiangyang Temple

Xiangyang Temple    Also known as Sikou Temple, Xiangyang Temple is located in Sikou Village, 10 kilometers west of Wangkuai Town and 12 kilometers east of the county seat. The village was built during the Yuan Dynasty, covering an area of 3 mu. The main gate faces east, with 24 marble steps. On either side of the gate stand two large marble lions, each holding a white stone ball in its mouth—exquisitely crafted. Above the gate are inscribed three large characters: “Xiangyang Temple.” The roof ridge is adorned with delicate and elegant stone birds, while the red walls feature symmetrical floral patterns framed by ancient bricks. The temple follows a traditional quadrangle layout, with buildings constructed from brick and wood. The main hall has seven rooms, the south wing three, the north wing three, and the east wing three. In the courtyard stands a bronze bell, and beneath a tree lies a large stone turtle. Two large red wooden pillars in the main hall are wrapped with colorful dragons, each clutching a yellow snake—a vivid depiction. Inside the hall, Buddha statues sit cross-legged with intense gazes, exuding solemnity.
