Chenghuang Temple

The Guangzhou Chenghuang Temple, built in 1370, the 3rd year of the Hongwu Period of the Ming Dynasty, was the largest Chenghuang Temple of its time in the Lingnan Region.

The temple, possessing the essence of the Lingnan architectural culture and Cantonese folk culture, has been a landmark of Guangzhou city in Ming and Qing Dynasties. In 1993, it was listed as one of the Municipal Cultural Relics of Guangzhou.
