Temple of Magistrate Bao, Hefei

Anhui Attraction - Temple of Bao

This temple was built on Xianghua Mound in Baohe Park in memory of Bao Zheng (999-1062) of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Born in Hefei, Bao Zheng was an honest official known as "Upright Magistrate Bao," who had once and his portrait carved on a stone, as well as relics unearthed from his tomb.

A well beside the temple is called "Upright Spring (Lianquan)," and it is said that corrupt officials of the town dared not drink the springwater.

The willow-lined Xianghua Mound is surrounded by water, in which water chestnuts and lotus flowers grow lavishly, and is connected to land by a bridge. Lotus roots flourish in the nearby Baohe River.
