A City God temple for Luzhou Prefecture, first built in the Song dynasty, with surrounding shopping streets selling trinkets and snacks, where temple fairs keep old Hefei's street life alive.

The present buildings date from Qing-era and later reconstruction, and the main hall and opera stage are well preserved.
