Suzhou City God Temple

Suzhou Chenghuang Temple has a history of 600 years. It was built on the site of the ancient house of Zhouyu in Dongwu, the three countries. In the 23rd year of the Ming Dynasty, Changzhou County and Wuxian Chenghuang Temple were newly built on both sides of the Chenghuang Temple in the city, forming the scale of the two county Chenghuang Temples located together. The scale is very grand, it is rare in the country, after many disasters, the 600-year-old Chenghuang Temple is already unrecognized, more than 20,000 flat buildings only the hall and the Yimen. Although this is the case, the city temple in Suzhou is very long in history, recorded in Lu "zhi", which can be seen that the history here can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty.
