The Memorial Temple of Lord Bao(Chinese:包公祠;pinyin:bāogōngcí) was once built in the Jin and Yuan Dynasties. The reconstructed one covers an area of more than 1 hectare with a collection of magnificent buildings of the Song style. As a high judicial official in Kaifeng during the Northern Song Dynasty, Bao Zeng, is a household-name in China. People often addressed him as Lord Bao out of the respect.

The main buildings and scenic spots consist of the Gate Hall, the Second Gate Hall, exhibition halls, the Stele Pavilion, the Second Hall, the corridor hall and the Hundred Dragon Pavilion, along with artificial mountains, waterfalls, springs, bridges and rare stones.
