Introduction to Guandi Temple: Located in the west of Huapan Village, Qianjiadian Town, it was first built in the fourth year of Yongzheng (1726) in the Qing Dynasty and rebuilt in the 20th year of Jiaqing (1815). It was designated as a key cultural relic protection unit at the county level in 1985. It was repaired twice in 1995 and 2008.
The Guandi Temple is a two-entry courtyard, consisting of seven parts: the mountain gate, the main hall, the back hall, the east and west side halls, and the bell and drum towers. The hall is decorated with carved beams and painted pillars, various brick carvings and ornaments are of exquisite shape, and the walls are painted with lifelike murals. There is a pavilion built in front of the main hall, and there is a stone basin in the pavilion. It is said that it was discovered when the temple was built. Legend has it that this stone basin is a treasure. Once water is poured into it, lotus flowers will bloom and goldfish will swim in the basin. This is where the name Huapot Village comes from.
