Suixi Huguo Temple

　　The original site of Huguo Temple was located at the former Second Guesthouse of the County Government on Shen Chuan Road in the county town. The temple was built during the Song Dynasty, originally situated in the old county seat of Jiuxian Village, and was named “Nanshan Ancient Cave.” After the county government relocated to its current site, the temple was also moved back to the county town. In the 43rd year of the Wanli era of the Ming Dynasty (1615), Magistrate Ouyang Hao built a Guan Yu Temple within the southern gate of the county town, retaining its name as “Nanshan Temple.” Later, a Guan Yu Temple was constructed to its right, and in the 4th year of the Chongzhen era (1631), the rear hall was added to enshrine the “Three Jewels.” It was named “Huguo Temple” (Protectorate of the Nation Temple) in reference to Guan Yu’s virtue of “safeguarding the nation and protecting the people.” The temple covers a construction area of approximately 1,500 square meters and features a brick-and-wood structure. The temple was demolished after the Cultural Revolution and was restored and rebuilt in 1986.
