Introduction
Three famous attractions in Hefei include Baogong Temple, Mingjiao Temple, and Xiaoyao ancient ferry. Baogong Temple, in particular, is a very worthwhile antique site. The temple consists of the main building of Baogong Xiangtang, Baogong Story Wax Museum (vividly displaying Baogong's integrity, fairness, and selflessness), Lianquan Well, Liufang Pavilion, and Huilan Xuan, as well as a large beautiful garden landscape. In the main hall of the temple, there is an eight-foot-high statue of Baogong, surrounded by guards such as Wang Dynasty, Ma Han, Zhang Long, and Zhao Hu, and three razor blades - dragon head, tiger head, and dog head - are placed around it. To the east of the temple is a hexagonal pavilion with an ancient "lián quán" well, which was believed to have caused a corrupt official to suffer from a severe headache after drinking its water. Thus, people call it Lianquan. During the Ming Dynasty, in order to preserve this well, a pavilion was built, which still exists today. There is a deep groove next to the well, a mark left by the rope as it rubbed against the edge of the well for a long time. "Liufang Pavilion" to the west of the temple was where Baogong studied and played as a child, while "Huilan Xuan" used the technique of "Ou clay" to reproduce Baogong's real life.
