🐉 Honoring the Ancestor of Chinese Civilization — Tianshui Fuxi Temple

Located in Tianshui, Gansu, the Fuxi Temple (伏羲庙) is one of China’s most important cultural heritage sites. Built in the Ming Dynasty, it honors Fuxi, the legendary ancestor credited with creating the Bagua (Eight Trigrams) and teaching humanity vital skills like fishing, hunting, and farming.

Stepping through its grand Lingxing Gate, you’ll enter a peaceful courtyard lined with ancient cypress trees, leading to magnificent halls filled with historical plaques, murals, and statues of Fuxi himself. During the annual Fuxi Culture Festival, the temple comes alive with rituals, music, and cultural performances.

Visiting here feels like walking through a living history book — a chance to connect with China’s deep cultural roots and legends.

💡 Tips:
• Located in central Tianshui — easy to reach by taxi or local bus.
• Plan 1–2 hours to explore fully.
