The Origin and Development of the Huang Daxian Temple Fair in Qishi
The Huang Daxian Temple is located in the northwest of Qishi Town, close to Jinjiaoyi Ridge next to the Dongjiang River. The ancient temple was built in the 12th year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1873) and was originally named Huang Xianweng Temple.
