Hua Mulan Temple
木兰祠
The ancestral temple of Hua Mulan in Yingguo Town, Yucheng. It houses a Yuan-dynasty stele, the Record of Clarifying the Shrine Portrait of the Filial and Valiant General.
The area around Yingguo Town in Yucheng County is regarded as the home of Hua Mulan. The Mulan Temple was first built in the Tang dynasty and rebuilt over the centuries. It has a mountain gate, a main hall, a statue of Mulan in military dress and Mulan's tomb. Its most precious item is the Yuan-dynasty stele 'Record of Clarifying the Shrine Portrait of the Filial and Valiant General,' which tells the story of Mulan taking her father's place in the army. Commemorative events are held around the eighth day of the fourth lunar month each year. The temple is about 35 km from the Shangqiu old city and requires a private car or chartered vehicle. Admission is confirmed on site.
