Guangzhou Wuxian Ancient Temple | Encounter the thousand-year-old ancient charm and enjoy the beauty.

| Encounter the thousand-year-old ancient charm and enjoy the beauty. 🎈Wuxian Ancient Temple is located at No. 233 Huifu West Road, Yuexiu District, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province. Built in the tenth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1377), it is a temple dedicated to the five immortals. On the large plaque above the door are four large characters "Wuxian Ancient Temple" written by Ruilin, the Governor-General of Guangdong and Guangxi in the Qing Dynasty. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Wuxian Temple was quite grand and magnificent, with more than a dozen halls. Originally there were screen walls, archways, mountain gates, central halls, and rear halls, as well as East and West Halls, Sanyuan Hall, corridors, etc. on both sides. But now the screen wall, archway, central hall, Sanyuan Hall and corridors have disappeared, and only some old buildings such as the ceremonial gate, rear hall, east hall, west hall and "the first building in Lingnan" are available for tourists to visit. The rear hall is 12.4 meters wide, 10 meters deep and 8 meters high. It has a double-eaved hip roof with green glazed tiles, and the ridge is decorated with glazed dragon patterns and glazed turtle beads. The inner groove has eight rafters, with six layers of three-copy brackets, and the outer eaves have two-jump arches to support the cantilevered eaves beams, spindle-shaped columns, raised and side feet, flat beams, and four-rafter pine to create a moon beam. The hump, fork hands, and support feet are simple in style, retaining the architectural techniques of the early Ming Dynasty. At the bottom of the ridge are the words "Built on the 21st day of the 11th month of the Dingyou year in Longji, the 16th year of the Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty, on the auspicious day of Bingshen." The building's facade has moderate proportions, retaining the early Ming Dynasty architectural style while also having local characteristics. It is one of the best-preserved Ming Dynasty wooden structures in Guangzhou. 💡Must-visit attractions: ✅【Tou Men】: The solemn main gate, with the "big plaque" written by Ruilin, the Governor-General of Guangdong and Guangxi in the Qing Dynasty, exudes a simple charm. Taking photos here is full of charm. 📷 ✅【Back Hall】: It enshrines the five mysterious immortals. The double-eaved hip roof building with green glazed tiles fully demonstrates the refinement and elegance of the Ming and Qing styles. 😍 ✅【No.1 Tower in Lingnan】: The red tower is like a shining pearl. The arched door and ancient stone steps seem to be telling the glory of the past, making people feel as if traveling through time and space. 🤩 ✅【Immortal's Thumb Footprint】: On the big red sandstone on the east side of the rear hall, the huge footprint indentation is full of legendary colors, as if the immortal had just left. 👣 ✅【Stone Qilin】: The stone Qilin at the gate is lifelike, guarding this ancient land. They are precious cultural relics and witnesses of history. 🦁 ✅【Inscriptions】: 14 inscriptions from the Song Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty carry the historical memory of Guangzhou, making people feel as if they can touch the style of Guangzhou hundreds of years ago. 📜 ‼ ️Tips: 1️⃣The ancient temple has reopened, but some areas are still under construction and are expected to be more perfect soon. 2️⃣No reservation is required, you can enter directly. Although the attraction is not large, a half-hour tour is enough to immerse you in the historical atmosphere. 3️⃣Go there on a sunny day, the sun will shine, the light and shadow will interweave, and the photos will be super good, allowing you to take great photos easily. 🌞 4️⃣The museum is closed on Mondays, so please remember to plan your time accordingly. 😉 📍Address: Wuyangxianji, Yuexiu District, Guangzhou. 🚇Transportation: Take Metro Line 1, Gongyuanqian Station, Exit J, and walk for 10 minutes; or take Metro Line 6, Haizhu Square, Exit E, and walk 1km; take Line 1/Line 2, BC Station, Exit A, and walk 1km. 🎫Tickets: Free
