Yanggong Temple
Yanggong Temple enshrines Yang Shu, the river god of the Yuan River. There are as many as four Yanggong Temples in and around the ancient city alone. From the upper reaches of the Qingshui River downstream along the entire Yuan River basin to both banks of the Yangtze River below Dongting Lake, Yanggong Temples or their ruins can still be found everywhere today, showing the profound influence of the Yuan River river god on the culture of the Five Streams region. The ancient city of Qianyang has numerous temples scattered throughout its streets, alleys, walls, and corners. Among them, the most famous is Yanggong Temple.
