Ninghai Town God Temple, Temple of the City God in Ninghai County, China

Ninghai Town God Temple is a temple dedicated to a protective deity in Ninghai County, featuring multiple indoor areas and altars for various religious figures. The structure displays traditional Chinese architecture with carved wooden details, painted motifs, and carefully arranged spaces throughout.

Founded in 689 when the county seat moved to the present site, the temple enshrines Tian She, a Southern Liang commander who quelled a rebellion in 548. Magistrate Xue Kang rebuilt it in the 1160s, it fell into disuse under the Yuan, and was re-established in 1369. The present four-courtyard layout dates from an 1819 renovation; in 1903 scholar Wang Xitong directed the Ninghai Incident from here.

The City God enshrined here is Tian She, a Southern Liang figure who quelled a rebellion in Ninghai in 548; under the Wuyue kingdom he was granted the title Anren Hou. The temple's name was fixed in 1369 as "Ninghai Chenghuang Zhishen Miao". Since 2015 the complex has been adapted to display Ninghai Pingdiao, a local opera form on the intangible heritage list.

The temple stands on Taoyuan South Road, about two hundred paces south of the former county office, on a north–south axis entered from the south. The gatehouse opens east, so visitors pass the stone lions before reaching the five-bay Wufeng Tower and the stage behind it. The stage columns facing the audience are iron above and concrete below.

The stage's upper columns facing the audience are iron, fitted with Western Ionic capitals, while the lower ones are concrete; the 1935 overhaul replaced the front pillars with iron to improve sightlines for watching opera. Its circular coffered ceiling is built from 20 layers of bracket sets forming 16 spiral lines.
