Shuizhen Engong Temple Introduction
Shuigong Shrine is located on Provincial Highway 27甲13K in Liugui District. In the third year of the Qing dynasty's Xianfeng period, Huang Xianren, originally from Haixian, Guangdong, moved to Xinyi Village and discovered that the residents in the area from Xinyi to Erpo were primarily farming dry land, indicating a lack of irrigation water. As a result, Huang Xianren, after observing the local topography, rode a cow to Erpo and personally used tools to dig a water channel to bring water from the Laonong River to this area. With the cooperative efforts of the villagers, the water channel was finally built, providing ample stream water to irrigate over 200 acres of farmland in Xinyi, leading to an increase in food production. To express their gratitude for Huang Xianren's contributions to the area, the water channel was named "Xianren Channel," and the "Shuigong Shrine" was constructed in his memory. A suggested stay time is around 10 minutes, which allows for a simple visit and worship.
