The main hall enshrines the statues of the "Three Purities," the highest deities in Taoism. It was originally called Guanghuigong Palace. Later, because Zhang Shicheng of the late Yuan Dynasty built a granary here and occupied Guanghuigong Palace as his temporary palace, it was commonly known as Zhangwang Temple. The palace enshrines both Wong Tai Sin and Guanyin. - 🔥Temple Highlights：1️⃣Calligraphy Relics: Inside Guanghuigong Palace, you can find inscriptions by Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi, especially Wang Xizhi's character "Dao" (Tao), which is very famous. 2️⃣Cultural Figures: Cultural figures such as Su Shi and Zhao Mengfu have left their calligraphy here, adding to the cultural value of Guanghuigong Palace. 3️⃣Prayer Altar: The incense is very popular here.
