Guanyu Temple

Henan


Dedicated to Guandi, the god of war and protection (among other things), this temple was originally built during the Ming dynasty (then dedicated to the god of wealth); the present structure dates back to 1708. Consisting of a single hall, there is not much to see here besides the building and a twisted pine tree – touch the top branch for fortune, the rear for longevity, or the middle for a promotion.
