Tianjin City God Temple

　　Introduction

　　Located on the east side of the South Canal, outside the old county town, it was built in the 24th year of the Wanli reign of the Ming Dynasty (1596) by Cao Zhong, the magistrate of Jinghai County, and later expanded with funding donated by a person surnamed Yuan from Jinghai County. The temple faces south and covers an area of 5 mu, consisting of the Mountain Gate Hall, the main Hall of the City God, and the Inner Residence of the City God.

　　In the 3rd year of the Xianfeng reign of the Qing Dynasty (1853), it was destroyed by fire but was later restored. According to traditional Chinese customs, City God Temples are usually located within cities, but this one is situated outside.
