Xi'an City God Temple, Sacred temple in Lianhu District, Xi'an, China.

The Xi'an City God Temple features five-opening archways measuring 32 meters in length, decorated with Tang Dynasty calligrapher Yan Zhenqing's inscriptions.

Built in 1387 during the Ming Dynasty reign of Emperor Hongwu, the temple moved to its current location in 1432 under Emperor Xuande's rule.

The temple houses multiple halls dedicated to different deities, including the God of Literature, Fire God, Queen of Heaven, and City God.

Located on West Avenue in downtown Xi'an, the temple welcomes visitors daily from 09:00 to 16:30 without admission fees.

The temple's Drum Music Band, recognized by UNESCO in 2009, performs traditional Chinese music considered a living record of ancient melodies.
