Shangwayaotou Dragon King Temple

Shangwayaotou Dragon King Temple is a cultural tourism attraction.

Shangwayaotou Dragon King Temple, also known as Guan Yu Temple, is located in the northeast of Shangwayaotou Village, Shangguan Town, Dai County. According to existing inscriptions, it was built during the Ming Dynasty and was renovated in the 22nd year of the Daoguang reign of the Qing Dynasty (1842), during the Xianfeng era (1851–1861), the 12th year of the Republic of China (1923), and the 19th year of the Republic of China (1930). The surviving structure is a remnant of the Qing Dynasty. It faces south and covers an area of 1,540 square meters. The temple follows a single-courtyard layout, with only the stage remaining along the central axis; flanking it are the mountain gate, monks' quarters, and west wing rooms, while the rest have been rebuilt. The stage has a brick foundation that is 9.9 meters wide, 6.7 meters deep, and 1.3 meters high. The stage features a three-bay width, a four-rafter depth, a front hip-and-gable roof and a rear gable roof, and a five-purlin, corridor-free structural style. Inside the temple, there are two Qing Dynasty renovation steles and two Republic of China renovation steles. In 2006, it was designated as a county-level cultural relics protection unit by the People’s Government of Dai County. (Content excerpted from “A Collection of Cultural Relics in Xinzhou”)
