Introduction to the Empress Temple: Historically, there was a Mazu temple in the Ming Dynasty treasure shipyard outside Dinghuai Gate. Local residents called it the "Empress Palace". After liberation, there were still several temple houses. There were statues of gods and a model of the treasure ship in the temple. At that time, there was an old monk named Sun in the temple, whose Buddhist name was Long Ben. He has passed away now. The Tianfei Temple at the site of the Bao Shipyard was built to commemorate the original "Empress' Palace", and a statue of Mazu is enshrined in the temple.
