The Nangwang Water-Dividing Dragon King Temple
   The Nangwang Water-Dividing Dragon King Temple is situated at the junction of the Wen River and the Grand Canal in Nangwang Town. It was initially constructed in the early Ming Dynasty to commemorate the achievements of Song Li and Bai Ying in creating the Nangwang water control system, and was subsequently expanded over time.

   By the tenth year of the Xianfeng reign during the Qing Dynasty (1860), it had developed into a large architectural complex, featuring main structures such as the Dragon King Hall, Yu the Great Hall, Memorial Temple of Song Gong, Memorial Temple of Pan Gong, Memorial Temple of Bai Gong, Memorial Temple of Wen Gong, the Water Bright Tower, an opera stage, the Guanyin Pavilion, the Guan Yu Temple, and the Grasshopper God Temple. Due to years of neglect, many structures have lost their original appearance.

   The Water Dragon King Temple is a provincial-level cultural heritage site and a famous tourist attraction related to canal culture.

  

The Nangwang Water-Dividing Dragon King Temple is a provincially designated key cultural relics protection unit.
