Dalong Temple
大龙祠
A shrine dedicated to the Dragon King and the god of the salt wells. Inside hangs the "Lingyuan Puze" plaque, nine-dragon design, bestowed by the Yongzheng Emperor. It is one of Heijing's important historic buildings.
Dalong Temple was where salt workers and merchants of Heijing prayed to the Dragon King for a constant supply of brine. Most of the surviving structures date from the Qing dynasty. The temple houses a plaque, "Lingyuan Puze," bestowed by Emperor Yongzheng. It is over 2 meters long and carved with nine dragon heads around its edges, and it is the temple's treasured relic. Beside the shrine is the Heiniu Salt Well, which you can visit at the same time. It is included in the old-town pass, and opening hours match the town's. Nearby lanes offer good photo views of Heijing's old street.
