Introduction to Shidafu Temple: Shidafu Temple, commonly known as Shangchuan Temple, is located at the north end of Shangcangbo in the fort, facing north and south. It was built in the fourth year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty. It is the family temple of the Wang Shuguo brothers. It is famous for its grandfather Wang Xiqiao, uncle Wang Ji and the honorary fathers of the two brothers' families for three generations. There are a pair of stone lions placed on the left and right in front of the temple, and there is a wall outside. Above the entrance door, there is a plaque for the "Shidafu" ancestral hall granted by Wanli of the Ming Dynasty, with pavilions on both sides. There are three couplets in the middle hall, with the imperial edict of Emperor Wanli on them. In 1982, it was renovated with self-raised funds, and the Anti-Japanese Memorial Hall was built in the middle hall to display the historical achievements of the Anti-Japanese War. In 1993, the stone tigers, horses and sheep in front of Wang Dongya's tomb in the Wenzhou Naval Base were moved to the temple for people to visit.
