Zhangjiabao Guanyin Temple

Zhangjiabao Guanyin Temple is a cultural relic protection unit of Dai County.

Zhangjiabao Guanyin Temple, also known as the Dragon King Temple, is located north of Zhangjiabao Village, Xingao Township, Dai County. Its founding date is unknown. According to an inscription in the temple, it was renovated in the 30th year of the Guangxu reign during the Qing Dynasty (1904). The temple faces south and covers an area of 1,022 square meters.

The temple features a single-courtyard layout, with a theater stage and the Dragon King Hall built along the central axis, and the God of Wealth Hall and the Lord Hall on both sides. These structures date back to the Qing Dynasty, while the rest were newly built. The Dragon King Hall stands on a stone base that is 8.7 meters wide, 7.3 meters deep, and 0.25 meters high. The hall has three bays in width and five in depth, with a single-eave hanging gable roof and a six-rafter front porch structure. On the front eaves of the central and side bays are four-panel lattice doors with six panes each. The interior walls on both sides and the back wall feature colored murals covering 34.2 square meters. There are two Qing Dynasty renovation steles preserved in the temple. In 2002, the People’s Government of Dai County designated it as a county-level cultural relic protection unit. (Content excerpted from "Xinzhou Cultural Relics Collection")
