Huguo Suiliangwang Temple

Afterwards, we visited the Huguo Suiliangwang Temple. This place is relatively large. All these small attractions have staff waiting at the entrance. You need to scan your ID card to enter the park. Only those who have purchased a ticket can enter. (The Xitang 75 yuan ticket includes these 11 small attractions and the Five Girls Theme Park.)

The Huguo Suiliangwang Temple is probably the biggest attraction in Xitang besides the park.

The main gate of the Qilaoye Temple is located on the street, and the open area to the south of the street leads to the river bank. The six characters "Huguo Suiliangwang Temple" are inscribed on the lintel of the gate. This is the handwriting of Jiang Weiyun, a calligrapher from Xitang Town.

The Huguo Suiliangwang Temple, commonly known as the "Seventh Lord Temple," is located in Xitang, Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province. It enshrines the local deity of Xitang. This historical figure, surnamed Jin and ranked seventh in the order of birth, was known to the locals as the Seventh Lord. Every year on the third day of the fourth lunar month, the Huguo Suiliangwang Temple hosts the Seventh Lord's Procession Fair, a lively and vibrant celebration rich in local flavor. The fair features folk performances such as circuses, white boat rides, and lake boat rides. This day also marks the opening day of Xitang's annual Tourism Festival.

This is the first small temple you encounter upon entering the ancient town. It's dedicated to Lord Jinqi. According to legend, this deity was probably a local deity, but for some reason, he wasn't officially recognized as a land deity. Because there are many other major attractions ahead, most visitors just pass by this place.

It is the Huguo Suiliangwang Temple. I passed by it while strolling in the morning. It was not open yet. But even if it was open, I would not buy a ticket to go in.

I got to the door, but didn't want to go in. I don't know why.

The Huguo Suiliangwang Temple, also known as the "Seventh Lord" Temple, is a local temple built to commemorate an upright official from the Ming Dynasty. A temple fair is held here every year on the third day of the fourth lunar month, the Seventh Lord's birthday.

I went in and left after ten minutes. It's small and not very nice, nothing to see.

The Huguo Suiliangwang Temple is a very small tourist attraction in Xitang.

In fact, I had forgotten where it was.

There are many small attractions in Xitang, and they are very small.

Although small, it has everything. This is the best way to describe the attractions here.

Now, every year on the third day of the fourth lunar month, which is the birthday of the Seventh Lord, Xitang holds a temple fair. It is very lively, and the Liangwang Temple also displays local customs and traditions during the temple fair.

I visited Xitang on a road trip in April 2008. Back then, it was still a relatively newly developed old town, with buildings beginning to take shape, few tourists, and simple folk customs. The Temple of the King of the State, also known as the "Seven Lords" Temple, is a place to visit.

It's ok. We bought a combined ticket and didn't need to ask for tickets. Overall, it's ok. The place is not big.

This temple feels very new, and I found out there was a scam before I went there, so I don’t have many photos or impressions here.

The place where the ancient town begins has many little people inside, which is very interesting.

The Huguo Suiliangwang Temple was first built in the Ming Dynasty and is commonly known as the "Seven Lords Temple". It enshrines the local gods of Xitang.

This person actually existed in history. His surname was Jin, and he was the seventh in his order of birth. The people called him "Seventh Master." During the Chongzhen reign of the Ming Dynasty, a famine struck the Xitang area. Seventh Master was supervising a ship transporting imperial grain. Seeing the countless starving people, he dumped the imperial grain on them. Knowing he could not escape justice, he committed suicide in the Yanta Bay River. The people who saved him raised funds to build a temple to commemorate him. Later, the imperial court learned of this and posthumously named him the King of Protecting the Nation and Carrying Grain.

Every year on the third day of the fourth lunar month, which is the birthday of the Seventh Lord, a temple fair is held here. On that day, people in Xitang will take to the streets to parade and pray for the new year. It is very lively.

We didn't go into the Temple of the King of Protecting the Country and Grain, we just took a look at the door, hahahaha

Xitang is known locally as the Seventh Master Temple. It's a bustling place. Every year on the seventh day of the fourth lunar month (I can't quite remember the exact date), the temple fair is packed with people, so crowded that the roads are jammed and cars can't move. Xitang's narrow streets squeeze visitors (including foreigners) into the river.

The Xitang Huguo Suiliangwang Temple, also known as the Seventh Lord Temple, enshrines the local deity. Every year on the third day of the fourth lunar month, the temple hosts the Seventh Lord's Procession Fair, a lively and vibrant celebration rich in local flavor. During the fair, there are folk performances such as circuses, white boat rides, and lake boat rides. The Xitang Tourism Festival also opens on this day. Unfortunately, I didn't see any performances.

The Seventh Lord Temple, also known as the Temple of the Protector of the Nation and the Grain King, is said to be a place where a grain transporter named Jin passed through Xitang. At the time, a severe drought had hit the outskirts of the town, leaving no crops and countless starving people on the road. The scene was tragic. Moved by compassion, Jin privately distributed grain relief, saving many victims.

There is an ancient temple in Xitang with a touching legend. It tells the story of a local court official named Jin who secretly distributed the imperial grain to the people because he could not bear to see the people starve. Later, he realized that he could not explain himself and had to commit suicide by jumping into the river.

In a relatively secluded place in Xitang, there is a stage opposite.

This is not a particularly large temple. It is the only temple in Xitang. It is very popular and can be seen as soon as you enter the scenic area. Those who have bought tickets can go in and visit. By the way, this place is very suitable for taking photos.

It's not a big attraction! After entering, it feels very ordinary! Personally, I feel it is not as good as Zuiyuan! Anyway, I don't like it very much!

In the Xitang Scenic Area, you can pass by a very eye-catching temple when walking towards the Wuguniang Theme Park.

Commonly known as the "Seventh Lord Temple," the Temple of the Protector of the Country and the Grain King is dedicated to Xitang's local deity, the Seventh Lord. This historical figure, surnamed Jin, was ranked seventh in the imperial family, and the locals called him the Seventh Lord. The front hall is newly built, with the main gate facing the street. To the south of the street lies the riverbank, where visitors from the countryside or other areas can take a boat directly to the temple entrance. We walked along the river, enjoying the scenery, and it was already getting late, so the temple gates were closed.

An ancient temple in Xitang has a touching legend. A local court official named Jin, unable to bear the starvation of the common people, secretly distributed all the imperial grain to them. Later, realizing he could not explain himself, he drowned himself in the river. The front hall is newly built, while the rear hall is largely a renovation of the old one. Its architecture is quite unique, with an eaves at the front and elaborate arched rafters.

Xitang's local god, it is said that there is a temple fair on the third day of April every year. The temple has a puppet display on the day of the temple fair, which is quite unique.

The Huguo Suiliangwang Temple is a tourist attraction in Xitang. The local god of Xitang is also enshrined here. Many people go in to burn incense and worship Buddha, but that's all they see inside. Some people say that the annual temple fair here is very lively, and the people of Xitang even take to the streets, making it very lively!

It's not big inside, it's just an introduction to local culture

It's not a very large attraction, the staff are very enthusiastic, and it would be nice if there were free explanations.

We walked along the river and played. It was getting late and the temple gate was closed.

There are quite some unique features inside. After going in and paying respects, you will find that they are all great generals protecting the country.

I felt a lot of history and culture here, it was very touching

The temple is very small and there is not much to see, so we just rested inside.

The Huguo Suiliangwang Temple, also known as the "Seventh Lord" Temple, is a local deity built in memory of an upright official from the Ming Dynasty. Legend has it that a man named Jin was transporting grain through Xitang during a severe drought, resulting in a complete loss of harvest and countless starving people on the road. Moved by compassion, Jin privately distributed food aid. When Jin's grain shipments reached Beijing, the imperial court investigated his actions and he was executed. The people, grateful for his kindness, built this temple in his memory. Since Jin was the seventh child in the family, they nicknamed him "Seventh Lord." Every year on the third day of the fourth lunar month, the "Seventh Lord's Meeting" takes place. Therefore, a temple fair is held here on the Seventh Lord's birthday. On that day, the people of Xitang parade through the streets and pray for good fortune for the coming year, creating a lively atmosphere.

There are many buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties, which are worth a visit.

Food is the most important thing for the people, and officials are based on the people. For ordinary people, a good official with a good conscience is hard to come by.

You can enter this attraction by swiping your ticket. I walked around inside. It’s not big. The most eye-catching thing inside is the tripod.

With a ticket to Xitang Scenic Area, you can visit the Huguo Suiliangwang Temple, which opens after 8 am.

One of the combined ticket attractions, the interior is very large, with many different statues, suitable for a walk ~ experience.

The surrounding environment of the temple is very good and blends in with the natural scenery

It’s a temple with a lot of history, you can imagine the vicissitudes of the past!

That is the Huguo Suiliangwang Temple, which is in harmony with the overall Xitang area. It is usually very quiet, but it is the busiest in the fourth month of the lunar calendar every year...

The Huguo Suiliangwang Temple is not very big. It has a small garden with a tree whose name I don't know. The flowers on the tree are very large and beautiful. When I went there, it seemed that the temple was still under construction. I could see a lot of construction materials piled up from the back door.

All are included in the package, which is bought from the store. It is very cheap. Xitang's attractions are spread all over the corners. If you walk to all the attractions, you will almost have finished visiting Xitang. Xitang is still good with some small shops. The things are very beautiful.

The location of the Seven Lords Temple is quite remote, on the edge of the Xitang Scenic Area. If I didn’t have plenty of time to wander around, I really wouldn’t come here.

It is the guardian place of Xitang Ancient City, and many people like to worship it.

Local temples have their own meaning and function

I haven't been inside, but just passing by the entrance I could feel that it was very imposing and unique.

The deity enshrined here is Xitang's local deity. This historical figure, surnamed Jin and ranked seventh, was known to the locals as Qi Laoye. Every year on the third day of the fourth lunar month, a temple fair is held at the Qi Laoye Temple. On that day, the people of Xitang parade through the streets and pray for good fortune for the coming year, creating a lively atmosphere.

You should go to this kind of place with a tour group, otherwise you won’t be able to see what’s going on.

Although I didn't go in and just looked at the outside, I still think the overall building is very beautiful.

It's very quiet, and the bathroom has a light sandalwood scent and is very clean.

Commonly known as the "Seven Lords Temple". The Huguo Suiliangwang Temple is dedicated to the local god of Xitang. In history, there really was such a person, his surname was Jin, and he was ranked seventh. The people called him the Seven Lords. The front hall is newly built, and the gate is on the street.

Xitang tells a heartwarming and true story. During the Chongzhen reign of the Ming Dynasty, a drought struck the Jiashan area, leaving the countryside barren and starving. At the time, there lived a man named Jin, the seventh child in his family. He was a minor official transporting grain to the imperial court, specializing in escorting grain ships along the Grand Canal. One day, while transporting imperial grain through Xitang, Jin Qi saw the starving people of the land of plenty, begging for food on the shore. Moved with compassion, he donated all the grain from the transport fleet to the people. Although he gave the grain to the people, he was still guilty of deceiving the emperor. Knowing he could not escape punishment, Jin Qi threw himself into the river at Yanta Bay and committed suicide. To commemorate this selfless official, the locals raised funds to build a temple dedicated to the Seventh Lord.

The scenery is very ordinary, even a bit shabby. No one maintains, repairs or manages it, and there is no introduction. I don't know what to see.

The temple didn’t seem very big, but there was a stage in front of the water that day where someone was singing local opera. I didn’t quite understand it, but it felt really good.

I bought a package ticket. Huguo is a temple. I just visited it. If you are interested, you can go in and take a look.

The "Seventh Lord" of Xitang, Jiaxing, is considered by the people of Xitang to be the greatest guardian deity of their hometown. He is not some deity, but a former virtuous official. His surname was Jin, and he was the seventh child in his family. Once, while transporting grain through Xitang, he encountered a severe drought in the suburbs, resulting in a total crop failure and countless starving people on the road. Moved by compassion, Jin privately distributed grain relief, saving many victims. When Jin's grain shipment reached Beijing, the imperial court investigated his actions and he was executed. The people, grateful for his kindness, built a temple to commemorate him. Because Jin was the seventh child in the family, they called him the Seventh Lord. The Seventh Lord Temple, also known as the Temple of the King of Protecting the Country and Grain, is located near Yanta Bay. To this day, the temple continues to attract worshippers. The newly built front hall opens onto the street, allowing visitors from rural areas and other places to take boats directly to the temple entrance. The six large characters "Temple of Protecting the Country and Grain" are inscribed on the lintel of the main gate in the handwriting of local calligrapher Jiang Weiyun. The front hall is tall and spacious, now serving as a foyer. Inside, a patio boasts a large candlestick for burning incense. In the center of the patio stands a 2.5-meter-tall cast iron incense burner inscribed with the words "Protecting the Country with Grain King." Though crude in construction, the burner is remarkably dignified, having been donated by devout believers. The rear hall, a surviving structure, has been restored by the ancient town's residents and remains in excellent condition. Its architecture is unique, featuring an eaves at the front, with elaborate, arched rafters. A row of wooden floor-to-ceiling windows punctuates the threshold, a common temple feature. Stepping over the threshold, one can still see the eaves, with their neatly arranged beams. These are actually part of the main hall. The eaves within this hall are exceptionally refined, reminiscent of the main halls of official residences. The tiles are of the finest quality, each planed and polished for a smooth, clean finish. This architectural style is rarely seen in ordinary temples.



The scenery inside is very nice

In short, there is nothing interesting to see in Xitang’s indoor attractions.

A local folk attraction dedicated to the local land god. The entrance of the temple is moved to the river bend and the scenery is average. There is nothing to see in the whole temple.

You don't need to buy tickets separately, they are all included in the Xitang ticket. There is nothing inside.

The small temple is very ordinary and does not enshrine any great gods. It is more about reflecting the local people's hope for peace and happiness.

The westernmost part of the scenic area. You can burn incense, but it is considered a tourist attraction.

There is nothing much to go into, just one of the attractions in Xitang.

The scenic spot for burning incense, I left without going in to see it.

It's a rip off to buy a ticket without paying. . . . . There are not many good-looking attractions among the twelve scenic spots, and you are not allowed to take pictures. To be honest, there is really nothing to take pictures of.

It is in the corner of Xitang Scenic Area. There are not many people going there, and I feel that this temple is not very good.
