Xuanyuan's ancestral temple was built on the banks of the river, and it is the oldest temple in China.

📍Address: Ronghe Town, Wanrong County, Yuncheng City, on the banks of the Yellow River 🚗Transportation: Self-driving is recommended. The parking lot is large. The entrance and exit are not the same. You need to walk and climb the mountain. 👍️Highlights: We are all familiar with the Temple of Heaven and the Temple of Earth, but before these two, there was the Temple of Hou Tu, which is the oldest temple. Especially in the Han Dynasty, the worship of Hou Tu had become a system. Every three years, the emperor would come here to hold a grand ceremony. Especially during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, he worshipped Hou Tu six times in his life. The ceremony was grand and left a well-known masterpiece "Autumn Wind Poem". (The innermost part of the Hou Tu Temple is the all-wood Autumn Wind Tower, which is no less than the Feiyun Tower.) Later, Emperor Xuan of Han, Emperor Yuan, Emperor Cheng, Emperor Ai, and Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty came here to worship 11 times. The autumn wind rises and the white clouds fly, The grass and trees are yellow and the geese return to the south. Orchids are beautiful and chrysanthemums are fragrant, I miss my beloved and I can't forget. Only when I really stand on the ancient road, blowing the wind of the Yellow River, standing in front of the gorgeous Autumn Wind Tower, can I really understand this Autumn Wind Poem. 🎟️Ticket Information: 20. We bought the Yuncheng annual pass, which includes this attraction.
