Huguang Guild Hall (Shoufo Temple)
会泽湖广会馆
A guild hall and Buddhist temple built by merchants from Hunan and Hubei, with a tidy layout; the second highlight among the old town's guild halls.
Huguang Guild Hall, also known as Shoufo Temple, was built in the Qing dynasty by merchants from Hunan and Hubei. It enshrines the Longevity Buddha and served as a native-place guild hall. The main gate, opera stage and main hall stand in sequence, and the painted roof beams and stone carvings are well preserved. It is part of the nationally protected Huize Guild Halls complex. Located on the east side of the old town, about 700 metres from Jiangxi Guild Hall, a visit takes around 40 minutes. Check admission on site. It pairs well with Jiangxi Guild Hall and the Confucian Temple for a half-day tour of the old town's guild halls.
