Huguang Huiguan Guild Complex

The Huguang Guild Hall, also known as the Temple of the King, is the collective name of a group of ancient buildings that includes the Guangdong Office, the Qi’an Office, and the Palace of the King. It was the gathering place of Hubei and Hunan businessmen in Chongqing. The theater stage within the guild hall contains exquisite wood ring carvings. The carvings mainly contain images from the famous stories, “Journey to the West,” “Investiture of the Gods,” “the Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars,” etc. It’s definitely worth a look.
