Geographical environment of Huangchengguan in Hangzhou

The total area of Hangzhou Chenghuang Temple is about 1000 mu. Located at the entrance of the ticket office, there is a huge granite relief "Wushan Customs Map". The whole work is 27 meters long and 6 meters high. With the Southern Song Dynasty as the background, it reproduces the prosperous scene and grand occasion of Wushan Temple Fair centered on Chenghuang Temple at that time. The four Optimus Prime, which stand in front of the relief, are mainly the decoration of the square. They are artistic shapes extracted from the combination of columns and arches in ancient buildings, which show the meaning of strength and beauty in China's ancient buildings and enhance the national style and historical atmosphere of Chenghuangge Scenic Area.

Located in Wu Scenic Area, Chenghuang Pavilion is an antique pavilion-style building with seven floors underground and a height of 4 1.6 meters. Dazzling and rich in content, it combines the architectural style of temples in Yuan and Ming Dynasties, focuses on the overall situation and outlines the details, winning the victory of rivers, mountains, lakes and cities in Hangzhou.

At the top of the main roof of Huangchengguan is a gourd-shaped vase; The tops of the four sub-roofs are inlaid with phoenix shapes. The whole pavilion looks like a group of phoenixes spreading their wings and flying, and it is fascinating to watch the Shenxian Mountain Qiongge stand against the sky.
