Panwang Ancient Temple

Located in the vortex township, 27 kilometers southwest of Liannan County, it is regarded as the ancestral village by the Yao compatriots. The road from Liannan County to Eddyshui is lush with lush forests, high mountains, rivers and terraces, and the scenery is very charming. The ancient temple of Panwang is located at the intersection of Huangjiachong and Liulianshui. It was built more than 1,300 years ago and was rebuilt several years ago. The temple is surrounded by high mountains on all sides. Pai Yao Village (also known as "Yao Pai") surrounds Panwang Temple. Yao compatriots often come to Panwang Temple to worship their ancestors. Every three or five years, they also organize large-scale "playing songs" activities to worship the gods. There is a century-old acacia tree in front of the ancient temple of Panwang, with luxuriant branches and leaves, which are covered with acacia beans all year round. Yao compatriots regard the red beans on the tree as sacred objects, pick them up and put them in front of the gods to worship them to avoid evil and seek peace.
