Scenic spot introduction:

Sanyuan County Museum is located in the Sanyuan City God Temple. The Chenghuang Temple was built in the eighth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (AD 1375). It is a palace-style building. More than 40 individual buildings, such as buildings, halls, corridors, courtyards, squares and pavilions, are arranged in a balanced and symmetrical manner on the vertical and horizontal axes. The five corridors and courtyards extend in depth and on both sides of each other. There are three gates, four archways and five double-eaves palace towers distributed on the central axis. The main buildings in the temple, such as the Yingmen, the theater tower, the bell and drum tower, the offering hall, the worshiping hall, the accompanying hall, and the sleeping hall, have their own characteristics. It embodies the characteristics of ancient Chinese architecture: regular plane outline, reasonable overall layout, rigorous structure, proper density, exquisite carving, and elegant decoration.
