Story of the Temple


Dedicated to the God of War and Martial Arts


Yanshui Wu Temple is dedicated to Guan Yu, the Taoist God of War and Martial Arts, commonly known as "Guan Gong" in Chinese and Lord Guan, or sometimes Emperor Guan, in English.



More than 300 Years of History


The original Yanshui Wu Temple was built of wood in about the 16th century, during the Qing dynasty (the last dynasty). The temple is quite different from the old one, transformed from a simple wooden structure into one of ornate and magnificent beauty.
