The Bao'an Wen Tianxiang Memorial Hall is located in Fenghuang Community, Fuyong Subdistrict, Bao'an District. Over 90% of the residents in Fenghuang Community bear the surname Wen. Fenghuang Ancient Village, which serves as a branch venue for the Cultural Industries Fair, was built by Wen Yinglin, who was adopted by Wen Tianxiang’s younger brother Wen Bi as his own son. Since Wen Tianxiang had no sons, for over 700 years the Wen clan has regarded themselves as his descendants. The family temple and Wen Tower they built are all related to Wen Tianxiang. Today, standing atop Phoenix Mountain, one can take in the vast expanse of Lingdingyang. The timeless line left by Wen Tianxiang when he passed through here — “Since ancient times, who has not died? Let me leave a loyal heart to shine in the annals of history” — has become an eternal masterpiece. To commemorate this historic figure, it was decided last year during discussions among the Wen clan to build the Wen Tianxiang Memorial Hall next to the ancient tower as part of the Wen Tower Park project.
