Wong Tai Sin Ancient Temple

Wong Tai Sin Ancient Temple is a cultural tourism attraction.

Wong Tai Sin Ancient Temple is located on Jinxiao’yi Ridge near the Dongjiang River in the northwest of Qishi Town, Dongguan City. It was first built in the 12th year of the Tongzhi reign during the Qing Dynasty (1873), originally named the Shrine of Immortal Huang. It underwent two major renovations in 1984 and 1997, and was expanded into Wong Tai Sin Park in 2005. The park covers an area of 130,000 square meters and is known for its unique rocks, lush forests, cool breezes, and serene scenery. During the annual “Birthday of Wong Tai Sin” from the 15th to the 25th of the seventh lunar month, worshippers gather for temple fairs, forming a traditional folk culture festival.

Wong Tai Sin Ancient Temple is a two-courtyard ancient structure, standing majestically on the riverside cliff where Huang Runfu jumped into the river. Its presence is awe-inspiring. Exiting the temple, one can climb up Jinxiao’yi Mountain via a small bluestone path beside the stone archway. Though just a small hill, the saying goes, “A mountain needs no great height to be famous when blessed by immortals.” Thanks to the widespread fame of Wong Tai Sin, even this modest hill has acquired a touch of spiritual charm. Ascending along the bluestone path, you first reach a resting pavilion. From there, climbing further to the mountaintop, you’ll find the grandly standing “Wenchang Pavilion.” From atop the Wenchang Pavilion, the beautiful scenery of Qishi unfolds before your eyes. People gain ambition through the inspiration of beautiful landscapes, while landscapes are enriched with spirituality through the presence of deities. Here, mountains, water, people, and spirits blend perfectly to create a magical place that captivates and delights all who visit.
