Where is Susan Temple?

Susan Temple is located in the south section of Shamanxing, Dongpo District, Meishan City, Sichuan Province.

Susan Temple was founded in the Northern Song Dynasty, and now it is a relic rebuilt in the fourth year of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty (1665), covering an area of 65,000 square meters. It is the former residence and ancestral hall of Su Xun, Su Shi and Su Zhe, three writers in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Su San Temple is a garden-style ancestral temple of literati in Qing Dynasty. The ancestral hall consists of the front hall (the gate of the ancient temple), the dining hall, the Seven Immortals Hall, the Laifengxuan, the east and west wing rooms and the corridor, which are on the same central axis, from south to north. On the basis of left-right balance, the east and west wing rooms change freely, thus forming an uneven and symmetrical pattern.

Susan Temple is an important place to study Susan and Susan culture, and it is also an important physical specimen to study architectural art and garden art in Ming and Qing Dynasties. On May 25th, 2006, Susan Temple was announced by the State Council as the sixth batch of national key cultural relics protection units.
