Scenic Spot Introduction

Huguang Guild Hall, also known as Wangyu Temple, Wangyu Palace and Chu Temple, was specially built for Dayu to control floods. Qigong Mansion, also called the Emperor's Palace, is dedicated to the Emperor (also called the Blessed Lord) in order to pray for happiness, good fortune, peace and security; Guangdong CCBA, also known as Nanhua Palace, is to commemorate Huineng, Nanhua's ancestor. Immigrants from various provinces, mainly Huguang, settled in Bashu, and local beliefs also entered Sichuan with the immigrants, thus forming a unique pattern of Sichuan folk beliefs in the Qing Dynasty. During this period, the belief in Dayu in the Bashu region also showed a unique phenomenon of "Chu Chong from Shu". Chongqing Huguang Guild Hall has received more than 10 million domestic and foreign tourists since its opening. It has become a business card of Chongqing and a monument of Chinese immigrant culture, enjoying a high reputation at home and abroad. It embodies the reverence and pride of the ancestors of Bashu for Chinese culture, is an important carrier and proof of the inheritance of Chinese civilization in Bashu, and is an exquisite stage where splendid history and modern culture complement each other.
