Qian Wang Temple is located within Liu Lang Wen Ying, originally built as a memorial temple known as Biao Zhong Ci to honor the King of Wu Yue, Qian Liu, and has a history of over 900 years. The main attractions include the Merit Arch, imperial edicts and other archways, a statue of Qian Wang Qian Liu, and a stone carving inscribed with ‘Qian Ci Biao Zhong’. To the north, there are three steles commemorating the Ten Scenes of West Lake.
Su Shi’s ‘Biao Zhong Guan Bei Ji’, one of the famous steles in the history of calligraphy, no longer exists in its original form. However, a replica from the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty is preserved within the temple, which is also considered very precious. Additionally, it is worth visiting the two Jie Xiang trees behind the Wu Wang Hall, which attract many visitors during the blooming season in February and March each year.
