The Jidu Temple located at the ancient source of Jishui (now Henan's
Jiyuan) was constructed in 582AD and the resort for sacrificial ceremony
for the god of water by emperors in past dynasties. In 1948, Chairman Mao
Zedong ordered that the temple's gigantic ancient building cluster be
protected. In 2004, local government conducted a large-scale repair and
reconstruction project to the Jidu Temple. Now this "No.1 God of Water
Temple" in China, cited as a classical garden in north China, appeared in
a new look before the eyes of tourists. Pictured, there is only one pond
of clear water left beside the Jidu Temple at the ancient source of
Jishui.
