Nüwa Palace
Temple complex in Hebei, China
The Nüwa Palace,[1][lower-alpha 1] also known as Wahuang Palace[4] and by its Chinese name Wahuanggong,[5] is a compound of palaces and temples beside Phoenix Mountain (Fenghuangshan)[6] in She County, Handan Prefecture, Hebei Province, China. It principally honors the Chinese goddess Nüwa,[4] whom the ancient Chinese believed created mankind and repaired the sky in prehistoric times. As such, the location is treated as a kind of ancestral shrine of all mankind and sees increased pilgrimage on Tomb Sweeping Day. The scenic area now covers 2600 mu[4] (1.67 km2 or 0.64 sq mi) and was made a AAAAA tourist attraction by China's National Tourism Administration in 2015.[7]
