Memorial Temple of Lord Bao

One of the first places that I paid visit during my visit in Hefei, luckily during the spring festival the Entry for the temple is free to enter 🎏 once you pass the gate you can observe the temple itself which is by the river. Lord Bao (999-1062), named Bao Zheng, was a renowned officer in the Northern Song Dynasty (960 - 1127). He is well respected because of his excellent personality. Many temples were built to commemorate his death but the most famous temple between them is the Hefei memorial temple. The atmosphere here has chill vibe to it and it’s family-friendly place. #temple #Lord_bao_zheng #river #hefei

Spending time on a boat with friends is enjoyable. And you can do this in Baohe, Hefei's Lord Bao Park. It is simple to locate, and the price is reasonable—30–40 RMB for roughly 30 minutes. It is wonderful to unwind and take a boat ride after a good walk around the park. You may take in the grandeur of the city surrounding you, marvel at the stunning pagoda, enjoy the breeze that makes the trees seem to be dancing, and be serenaded by the magnificent birds. #tripblazers #mytripvlog #park #parks #parksinthecity #boat #boats #hefei #china #chinalife #urbanexplorer #riding #relaxation #trees #river #riverside

Located on the eastern section of Huan Cheng South Road in Hefei city, a quaint and elegant complex of buildings stands quietly. It is the Bao Gong Temple—a place imbued with profound historical and cultural significance. The full name of the temple is 'Bao Gong Xiao Su Temple', which is not only the main ancient architectural complex of Baohe Park but also an important venue for us to explore the spirit of Bao Zheng and experience the long-standing history and culture of Anhui. In the first year of the Hongzhi era (1488), the governor of Luzhou, Song Jian, built the Bao Gong Academy here, which gradually evolved into the Bao Gong Temple. This place has not only witnessed the legendary deeds of Bao Zheng's life but also carries the reverence and remembrance of later generations for this great figure. Stepping into the Bao Gong Temple is like traveling through a tunnel of time, returning to that era of justice and integrity. The exhibits in the temple hall are rich and varied, including both an introduction to Bao Zheng's life and a display of ancient legal culture. Each exhibit seems to tell the legendary story of Bao Zheng, deeply moving visitors. The Qingfeng Pavilion, as an important part of the Bao Gong Temple, has a unique architectural style and profound implications. It symbolizes Bao Zheng's spirit of integrity, fairness, and selflessness, and also represents the Anhui people's reverence and inheritance of this historical figure. Standing on the Qingfeng Pavilion and overlooking the entire Baohe Park, one can almost feel Bao Zheng's righteous spirit and his overwhelming presence that purifies the world.

The Bao Gong Temple is located on Wuhu Road in Baohe District, Hefei City. It is one of the components of the well-known Hefei attraction, Bao Park, and is a special temple built to worship Bao Zheng, a famous clean official from the Northern Song Dynasty, officially named 'Bao Xiaosu Gong Temple'. The scenic area is not large, surrounded by green waters. In addition to the main hall, there are Lianquan Well, Liufang Pavilion, Huilan Pavilion, and a wax museum. Especially, the wax figures are lifelike, with key scenes such as the 'Case of the Beheaded Beauty', 'Beating the Dragon Robe', and 'Angry Rebuke of the Duke', which display the image of Bao Gong as loyal, filial, clean, and incorruptible. The ticket price is 20 yuan, with free or discounted admission for the elderly, children, and military personnel. The area near the attraction is crowded and parking is inconvenient.

Bao Gong Temple, located at No. 72 Wuhu Road, Baohe District, Hefei City, Anhui Province, is the main ancient architectural group of Bao Gong Park. In the first year of Hongzhi of the Ming Dynasty, Song Jian, the prefect of Luzhou, built Bao Gong Academy here, which was later renamed Bao Gong Temple. This highland also has the elegant name of 'Xianghua Dun'. Bao Gong Temple is a public temple commemorating Bao Wenzheng, a scholar of Longtu Pavilion of the Song Dynasty, a minister of the Ministry of Rites, and a prefect of Kaifeng. The full name of Bao Gong Temple is 'Bao Xiaosu Gong Temple', which is a special temple for worshiping Bao Zheng. The two words 'Xiaosu' were given to him by Song Renzong after Bao Gong's death, to affirm Bao Gong's loyalty and filial piety throughout his life. The main hall of Bao Gong Temple was built with a donation of 2,800 taels of silver from Li Hongzhang, a high-ranking official in the late Qing Dynasty. Bao Gong Temple is backed by the Huan City South Road in the old city of Hefei, surrounded by water on three sides, with lotus and lotus full, and green trees covering it.
