Hutou Guandi Temple
虎头关帝庙
A frontier Guandi Temple first built during the Yongzheng reign of the Qing dynasty. Known as the “First Temple of the East,” it is one of Heilongjiang’s earliest Qing-era buildings.
Hutou Guandi Temple is said to have been built during the Yongzheng reign of the Qing by migrants from Shandong and Hebei, along with ginseng gatherers and gold miners. It is one of the surviving early wooden Qing-era buildings in Heilongjiang Province and is a provincial-level cultural heritage site. Because it lies on China’s eastern frontier, it is known as the “First Temple of the East.” The old temple survived both the construction of the Japanese fortress and the Soviet attack on the town. Inside are the Guandi Hall and stone inscriptions. The temple is small but refined, and a visit takes about half an hour. It is within the town of Hutou and can be walked to from the Ussuri River Square.
