Xixi Erxian Temple
西溪二仙庙
A Song and Jin Taoist temple on the outskirts of Lingchuan. Its dressing towers and wooden halls are exquisitely crafted, and it is a representative example of ancient architecture in southeastern Shanxi.
Xixi Erxian Temple is located just west of Lingchuan County town. It honors the 'Erxian Grandmothers,' folk deities worshipped in southeastern Shanxi. It was first founded in the Tang dynasty. The surviving structures include the rear hall from the Song and Jin periods and two dressing towers on either side. The roofs have graceful curves, and the wooden frameworks and glazed tiles are exquisite. It is a key national cultural heritage site. It is very close to Chong'an Temple in the county town, so both can be visited together. It is also a convenient stop on the way to Wangliang Ridge and Xiya Gully. Opening hours are subject to on-site information.
