Guanghui Palace (simplified Chinese: 广惠宫; traditional Chinese: 廣惠宮; pinyin: Guǎnghuì Gōng), commonly known as Zhang–Wang Temple (张王庙; 張王廟; Zhāng–Wáng Miào), is a Taoist temple located in Nanxun of Huzhou, Zhejiang, China.[1]

History[]

The temple was first established in the reign of Yingzong of the Northern Song dynasty (960–1127). In late Yuan dynasty (1271–1368), Zhang Shicheng used the temple as his Xinggong (Chinese: 行宫; lit. 'imperial palace for short stays away from the capital'). It has been burned down and rebuilt several times, due wars and natural disasters. The current temple was rebuilt in 2003.[2]

Architecture[]

The statues of Three Pure Ones are enshrined in the main hall of the temple.[2]
