Jiangdu Temple used to be the place where the ancestors offer their sacrifices to the god of the Yangtze.
It was originally built in Guilin valley, Xintan town, nearly one thousand year ago. The current structure has a history of more than 200 years. It was rebuilt in the year of 2002 on the top of Fenghuang (Phoenix) Mountain, new Zigui County.
Jiangdu Temple is one of the typical examples of the local architecture which merges the north official architecture pattern and the south delicate workmanship together. It is seldom seen among the numerous cultural relics unearthed in the Three Gorges region.
