Shuizhen Engong Temple Introduction

Shuizhen Engong Temple is located on Provincial Highway 27甲13K in Liugui District. In the third year of the Qing Dynasty during the Xianfeng period, Huang Xianren, originally from Haixian County, Guangdong, moved to Xinwei Village. He discovered that the residents in the area from Xinwei to Erpo were all farming drylands, indicating a lack of irrigation water. Therefore, after observing the terrain in the area, Huang rode a cow to Erpo and personally excavated the waterway using tools, aiming to channel water from the Laonong River to this place. With the help of the villagers, the waterway was finally completed, allowing abundant creek water to irrigate over 200 acres of farmland in the Xinwei area, resulting in increased food production. To express their gratitude for Huang Xianren's contributions to the area, the villagers named the waterway "Xianren Waterway" and built the "Shuizhen Engong Temple" to commemorate him. The suggested duration of stay is about 10 minutes, allowing for a simple visit.
