The history of Gaozhou Xiansi Temple.

The Sendai Temple in Gaozhou was built 1400 years ago in the Sui Dynasty. It was originally built by Mrs. Xian's grandson Feng Ang (then governor of Gaozhou) in memory of her grandmother. The original temple is located in the old town village of changpo town, Gaozhou.

In the fourth year of Chenghua in Ming Dynasty (1468), Gaozhou Prefecture moved to Maoming City (now Gaozhou City), and in the fourteenth year of Jiajing (1535), the governor of Gaozhou, Dianzhushu, moved the Sendai Temple in Gaozhou to its present site, which has a history of nearly 500 years.

This temple is a national education base for national unity and progress, a provincial key cultural relic protection unit and a provincial patriotic education base, covering an area of 1 1 000 square meters, and it is the largest Sendai temple in Gaozhou area at present.

The overall layout is roughly distributed along the north-south central axis, and it is divided into four parts: the front seat, the middle hall, the main hall and the public hall (the back hall).
