Pangu Temple is located on Pangu King Mountain in the north of Shiling Town, Huadu. It was originally built during the 14th year of the Jiaqing era in the Qing Dynasty (1809) and was reconstructed in the 27th year of the Guangxu era (1909). According to folklore, Pangu King is the god who separated the heavens and the earth, born in the chaos of the universe. All elements such as the sun, moon, stars, winds, mountains, fields, plants, and minerals are believed to have been transformed from parts of his body. In his memory, the Pangu Temple was built. The main hall of the temple houses the statue of Pangu King. On the twelfth day of the eighth lunar month, known as Pangu’s birthday, people gather in large groups, perform drum music and lion dances to celebrate, making the scene very lively.
On the hillside behind the temple, there is a pavilion known as the Ban Shan Pavilion, and to its west lies the Qiankun Stone, commonly referred to as Pangu King’s Lying Stone. The Qiankun Stone stands about 4 meters high and covers an area of more than 30 square meters. It has a central crack that is over 30 centimeters wide and more than 1 meter deep. Nearby, there are several large, interlocking rocks, with springs emerging from their bases all year round, known as the Dragon’s Mouth Spring. The temple is open all year round from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm.Pangu Temple in Huadu
