Gao Long Zhongyue Temple

Gao Long Zhongyue Temple

Gao Long Zhongyue Temple is a cultural tourism attraction.

Guide:

The main hall is three bays wide, featuring a single-eave hip-and-gable roof. All four sides of the eaves are adorned with bracket sets, as are the beams and columns inside the hall. The beams and columns are decorated with colorful paintings in rich and elegant hues. The ridges of the roof are covered with exquisite brick carvings, including motifs such as a carp leaping through the Dragon Gate and auspicious dragons soaring through clouds. The gable ridges at the four corners originally held statues of Han Xin, Pang Juan, Zidu, and Luo Cheng, which were destroyed during the Cultural Revolution. In front of the main hall are two smaller halls, and behind it are several sleeping quarters, all built with blue bricks and tiles.

Located about half a kilometer east of Gao Long Village in Yanshi County, it is referred to as the "Lower Zhongyue Temple" in contrast to the Zhongyue Temple in Dengfeng, and is commonly known as the "Gao Long Grand Temple" after the village name. This temple is well-preserved and houses a large number of exquisitely carved and painted artworks.
