Located on Yicheng Road, Huangpu district in Shanghai, Chenghuang Temple, or the City God Temple, is one of the key historical sites in Shanghai. It was originally built during the Yongle reign (1403-1424) of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). It welcomed its most prosperous period in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911).
