Pingyao City God Temple
城隍庙
A complex of three temples to the City God, God of Wealth and Kitchen God. The glazed roof ridges are exquisite, and it is included in the old town pass.
The City God Temple lies on City God Temple Street in the southeast of the old town, facing the county yamen to the east and west, the “civil and military” pair. The three temple complexes, dedicated to the City God, God of Wealth and the Kitchen God, are combined into one. The colorful glazed roof decorations, the opera stage and the sleeping quarters are well preserved. It is one of the finest temples in the old town. It is included in the old town pass, and can be combined with the Confucian Temple and Qingxu Temple for an eastern half-city route, which takes about 1 hour.
