Xingguo Temple Travel Guide

Xingguo Temple is located in Yulong Town, southeast of Xingyang City. It was built in the second year of the Xianheng period of the Tang Dynasty (671 AD) and is a sub-temple of the White Horse Temple in Luoyang. Opening hours: Open all day, all year round. Attraction details: The name of Xingguo Temple comes from the meaning of "the Mandate of Heaven, respect for the Buddha, and the prosperity of the country." It has a long history and was rebuilt during the Taiping Xingguo period of the Song Dynasty. However, the temple's buildings were all destroyed by war, and the current Xingguo Temple Park is an ecological garden-style landscape. There is an ancient locust tree under the mountain gate, called "Ancient Locust Night Rain." Legend has it that Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, once tied his horse here to avoid the rain, and this tree was later worshiped as a sacred tree. In early autumn 2008, when the image of the ancient locust tree was reshaped, a green-yellow snake was seen burrowing into a deep hole under the tree, adding to the legend of the ancient locust tree. Travel tips: 1. Visit during the day when the temple is open to better appreciate the buildings and scenery inside the temple. 2. As the temple is quite large, it is recommended to spend about 1 hour visiting. Nearby attractions: Xingguo Temple Park is located on the golden tourist line of attractions such as Liu Yuxi Park, Li Shangyin Park, Jingxiang City Ruins Ecological Park, and Donglin Temple, so you can plan your time to visit them together. Transportation: You can choose the specific transportation method according to your departure location. If you are driving, you can use a navigation app to get there. If you choose public transportation, you need to check the relevant routes and stops in advance. Xingguo Temple
