Manau Temple Ruins in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province.

Hangzhou Manau Temple was originally called "Manau Baosheng Temple" and was built by the King of Wuyue in the Five Dynasties in the third year of the Kaiyun era of the Later Jin Dynasty (946) on Manau Slope of Solitary Hill. It was relocated to its current site in the 22nd year of the Shaoxing era of the Southern Song Dynasty (1152). Over the past 800 years, Manau Temple has been destroyed and rebuilt many times. In 2004, the North Mountain Street Historical and Cultural District Protection Project Construction Command spent nearly a year restoring the temple's beautiful garden scenery, resulting in its current appearance. The Lian Heng Memorial Hall is located in Manau Temple and was opened on December 18, 2008. It covers an area of 9,139 square meters and has a building area of 2,600 square meters. From 1926 to 1927, Lian Heng, the author of "A General History of Taiwan" and a patriotic historian, lived in this temple to study and organize historical and cultural materials. He left behind the poem "A spring dream fades like smoke, peach blossoms fall on the wine boat in March, one day I will move to live by the lake, the green mountains and history will last for a thousand years," establishing a connection with Manau Temple. The Lian Heng Memorial Hall uses the original temple wing rooms as exhibition spaces, introducing Taiwan's natural, historical, and cultural overview from different perspectives. It includes seven permanent exhibition halls: Taiwan Natural Environment Hall, Taiwan Historical and Cultural Hall, Cross-Strait Cultural Exchange and Interaction Hall, Mr. Lian Heng's Deeds Hall, Taiwan Figures Hall, Taiwan Traditional Crafts Hall, and Taiwan Modern Crafts Hall. In 2010, the Yayan Library was added, collecting literature and books related to Taiwan's nature, history, and culture, providing reading services for visitors. The Quanquan Tea Room offers Taiwanese-style tea and food, making it a great place for visitors to relax and enjoy tea. To enrich the exhibition content, the Lian Heng Memorial Hall also regularly holds exhibitions on cross-strait cultural, artistic, and technological exchanges and interactions.

What's Taiziwan? I prefer the lesser-known cherry blossom temple by the West Lake!
