Nüwa Palace, Religious heritage site in She County, China
The palace compound stretches across 1.67 square kilometers beside Phoenix Mountain, featuring multiple temples and ceremonial buildings dedicated to goddess Nüwa.
Construction of temples near Phoenix Mountain began during the late Han dynasty in the second century, with major expansions during the Ming dynasty Wanli period.
The palace serves as an ancestral shrine where people gather on Tomb Sweeping Day to honor Nüwa, the mythological goddess who created humans from yellow earth.
Visitors can reach the palace by taking regular buses from Handan Passenger Transportation Terminal to Shexian County, followed by a short taxi ride.
The site contains extensive Buddhist scripture inscriptions from the Northern Qi period, comprising approximately 137,400 characters carved into the mountainside.
