Huanglong Temple (Chinese: 黄龙寺；pinyin: huánglóngsì): Huanglong Temple, built in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) at the valley's upper end which covers more than 1,000 square metres, is in a remarkable setting and provides a retiring place for the visitors. The whole temple consists of three small ones; the front, the middle and the rear temples, which mark the head, the waist and the tail of a dragon respectively, going all the way down the valley. The front temple has almost been ruined. The middle temple has five halls remaining, to worship the Goddess of Mercy, and the 18 arhats. As for the rear temple, it enshrines the Dragon King. On the 15th of every sixth lunar month, the day when the yellow dragon was said to achieve his Buddha hood, an annual trmple fair will be hosted featuring a horse race. At that time, local people of different groups come to attend, praying for good fortune and harvests.
