Kunshan Nüwa Temple

　　    Kunshan Nüwa Temple is situated in Shanzitou Village by the Jialu River in the northern suburbs of the county, an area historically known as "Kunshan." Historical records state that "Nüwa resided in Kunshan." Legend has it that Nüwa, the mother of humanity, and Fuxi became spouses here "with smoke as their matchmaker and by rolling a millstone together." To worship Nüwa, the ancients built Nüwa Temple, which was later abandoned. The current Kunshan Nüwa Temple was constructed in 1996 on the site of an ancient Han Dynasty city through donations from local people. Covering an area of 30 mu, the temple complex includes the main hall dedicated to Nüwa, as well as the Fuxi Hall, Jade Emperor Hall, Hall 0, and side halls on both sides. The main hall is five bays wide, with double eaves and upturned corners; inside, a dignified and lifelike statue of Nüwa is enshrined. On the first and fifteenth days of each lunar month, Nüwa Temple and Nüwa City jointly host temple fairs, attracting a continuous stream of worshippers and tourists.
