Sanyuan City God Temple is located in the middle of Dongqu'an Street in Sanyuan County, Xianyang. Sanyuan City God Temple is a palace-style building. The entire building complex is composed of five courtyards, and the five corridor courtyards extend in depth and on both sides. On the central axis are three gates, four arches, and five palaces with double eaves. The main buildings such as the Yingmen, Opera Tower, Bell and Drum Tower, Xian Hall, Worship Hall, Accompanying Hall, and Sleeping Hall have their own characteristics. Sitting in front of the temple gate facing south, the 10-meter-high screen wall is made of water-milled bricks, and the center is inlaid with the relief of carp jumping dragon gate bricks. Sanyuan County Museum is located in the Temple of the City God and houses nearly 3,000 precious cultural relics and more than 100 stele inscriptions. Among them, the stone inscriptions of Yue Fei's handwriting before and after the "School of Teachers" and the authentic calligraphy of Yu Youren are praised by the world. Every year during the Mid-Autumn Festival (the 11th to the 15th day of the lunar calendar), the Sanyuan City God Temple Fair holds temple fairs, during which there are activities such as singing operas, social fire performances and material exchanges.
