There's a severely underrated temple in Shaanxi, the "Greatest Temple in China"!!!

Shaanxi Cultural Tourism, you're missing out by not promoting this place!!! This temple is dedicated to the Tang Dynasty war god, Li Jing, the inspiration for the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King. Sanyuan City God Temple, located in the middle of East Street in Sanyuan County, Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province, was first built in the second year of the Hongwu reign of the Ming Dynasty (1369). It now covers an area of 9,500 square meters, with a building area of 5,350 square meters. Facing south, the Sanyuan City God Temple has 115 rooms. A brick-carved screen wall and a wooden archway lead to the temple's sacred path. Further inside, another wooden archway and a stone archway stand before the opera stage, flanked by covered walkways. The offering hall and worship hall are connected. Between the opera stage and the main hall, another wooden archway is erected, with a bell tower and side halls to the east and west. The sleeping hall is located at the northernmost end of the temple, connected to the main hall by a "beamless gate" and the Ming God Pavilion. It is one of the largest and most well-preserved City God temples and ancient building complexes in Shaanxi Province.
