2. Play strategy

Although there are many scenic spots in Pingyao ancient city, there are not many historical sites listed as national key cultural protection units. Chenghuang Temple is one of them, and it is also the third scenic spot listed as key cultural protection units in the ancient city.

Compared with many scenic spots in Pingyao, the location of the Chenghuang Temple is not lively, not on the four streets in the southeast and northwest, but next to the relatively small East Gate. Because the influence of the Town God Temple in the local area is extremely important, this street is also called Town God Temple Street.

Pingyao City God Temple was built in Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty, with a history of more than 600 years. It was destroyed by fire in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, so most of the buildings we see today belong to the Qing Dynasty.

From the east gate along Chenghuangmiao Street to the east, you can see a tall archway. Although it was newly built in the later period, the traditional archway architecture can also let you see the unique glass craft in Shanxi, which is relatively atmospheric in general.

After crossing the mountain gate, I entered the Chenghuang Temple. The first building is the stage in the Chenghuang Temple, but the front yard is to the north of the West Building. You will enter the front of the stage building from the middle of the hanging street gate. You happened to meet a local drama here when you came.

There are 40-minute performances every morning and afternoon. If you are an opera lover, you can sit down and listen.

Opposite the stage is the main hall of Chenghuang Temple. The roof of the whole hall is paved with blue glazed tiles, and there is a platform in front of the hall. There are city god, judges and so on in the middle of the hall. There are large murals painted on the east and west walls, showing the scene of the city god's tour.

It is said that it was painted in the early Ming Dynasty and redrawn in the Qing Dynasty. In the 1950s, it was painted with limewater. Now, it is the original appearance after washing white, that is, the remains of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

On the east side of the main hall, there is also a partial hall dedicated to the kitchen god, and on the west side, there is also a partial hall dedicated to the god of wealth. This three-owner sharing model is unique in China.

Generally speaking, the Town God Temple in the corner is obviously much colder than the scenic spots above South Street and West Street, but compared with those scenic spots, there are many more scenic spots in the Town God Temple.

You can not only see the rare sight of the integration of the three temples in the country, but also see the murals in the Ming and Qing Dynasties and listen to local operas. Therefore, it seems that the Chenghuang Temple is one of the most noteworthy scenic spots in Pingyao ancient city.
