Guan Yu Temple, lying on the Xiejia Mountain near the south gate of the Jingzhou ancient city, was built by Jingzhou people to commemorate Guan Yu. The local people hope to educate future generations to learn from the loyalty, righteousness, benevolence, and courage of Guan Yu. Guan Yu Temple is an important attraction in the ancient city of Jingzhou. After passing through the mountain gate which has overhanging eaves, tourists can climb the 33-step stone "ladder" to reach the main hall of Guan Yu Temple. The 33-step stone ladder originates from the local folklore of "Opening the Tianmen on March 3rd," meaning that he who gets to the 33-step stone ladder will take a new step in his life.

Jingzhou Guan Yu Temple (Lower)
In the main hall, the seated statue of Guan Gong sits in the center, with the statues of his two sons, Guan Ping and Guan Xing, standing on either side. Guan Gong wears a Han-style headscarf and robe, gently strokes his long beard with his left hand, and makes a "no need for formalities" gesture with his right hand. His kind face exudes the demeanor of an elder. On the second floor of the main hall, there is a 1.8-meter-tall bronze statue of Guan Gong standing, which is the treasure of the temple. In front of the bronze statue is a sand table of Guan Gong's life, which is the first and only time in China that Guan Gong's life is displayed in the form of a sand table. In the Xianghe Hall, there is a family portrait of Guan Gong's family of four generations and nine people, which is also rare in China. The statues of Guan Gong's entire family are placed in the same hall, which is breathtaking.
