Yue Fei Temple, Tangyin
汤阴岳飞庙
A shrine to the national hero Yue Fei in his hometown. Its Ming-dynasty buildings and the “Loyal and Patriotic” stone inscriptions are the main attractions.
Tangyin is the hometown of Yue Fei. The Yue Fei Temple, also known as the Temple of Loyalty, was first built during the Jingtai era of the Ming dynasty. It lies inside Tangyin county town and is a national key cultural heritage site. The complex includes the Jingzhong Archway, the front gate, the imperial stele pavilion, the main hall, the rear hall, the Yue Yun shrine and the shrine to Yue Fei's four sons. The main hall houses a seated statue of Yue Fei. Outside the front gate, iron statues of Qin Hui and four other men kneel in shame. The stone gallery holds over a hundred inscriptions by famous figures from successive dynasties, including calligraphy by Yue Fei himself, such as the poem “Man Jiang Hong” and the “Memorial on Military Campaigns.” The site is moderate in size, and a visit takes about 1 to 1.5 hours. Check the scenic area for current ticket prices. Tangyin is about 20 kilometers from central Anyang. It has a high-speed rail station at Tangyin East and can be combined in a half-day trip with nearby Youli City, the site where King Wen of Zhou deduced the Book of Changes.
