📌Small Tips:
Be sure to follow the planned routes of the scenic area during your visit.
Dress comfortably for the trip, and avoid wearing hard shoes.
The ultraviolet rays are strong in summer, so be sure to take sun protection measures.
Let's go outdoors while the sun is shining
Tagang Reservoir
Drive on the alternate route without taking the highway, navigate to Tagang Reservoir, and if you go further in, you'll reach the Lion and Leopard Head Reservoir.
Upon reaching Tagang Reservoir, there will be two tunnels to pass through. The tunnels have a draft, which is very cool, so be sure to avoid entering when sweating, as the draft can be quite strong. Once you pass through the tunnels, you'll see the reservoir, which is inaccessible, and you'll need to return the same way.
Along the way to Tagang Reservoir, there are shallows, camping, and barbecue spots, but they are all rocky beaches. There are still many places to choose from, just park your car, and don't forget to bring water guns for the kids! It will double the fun!
Heading towards the Lion and Leopard Head Reservoir, there is also a Lin family ancestral hall (shown in the last picture). It is said that the wife of Bi Gan, who is the origin of the Lin surname, lived here. The ancestral hall looks quite large from the outside. Due to time constraints, we didn't enter. The color of the water sources along the way is really healing. At a glance, it's refreshing to the mind and spirit. Let's enjoy the great outdoors while the sun is just right~

Explore Henan | A One-Day Tour Guide to the Temple of Bi Gan, the 'Investiture of the Gods'
The scenic area is very large, but the Temple of Bi Gan, as the core part, is only of medium size. If you start from the first gate of the scenic area, the central axis is successively lined with stele pavilions, spirit roads, statues of Bi Gan, shadow walls, mountain gates, second gates, wooden archways, stele corridors, worship halls, main halls, side halls, stone archways, and tombstones.
Behind the main hall is the tomb of Bi Gan, which is the first recorded tumulus-style tomb in China. The Temple of Bi Gan was built because of the tomb, making it a combined temple and tomb complex, and thus it is also the first temple in China that includes a tomb for worshiping the deceased.
The treasure of the temple. The guardian of the Bi Gan Tomb is located in a stele pavilion in front of the tomb. Inside the pavilion stands a stele, which is the 'Confucius Sword Inscription Stele', the only existing authentic work of Confucius in China.
