Introduction to the Statue of the Doe Head Zhaohui Temple

It was discovered and worshipped by the local kind fisherman Li Aqi. The villagers built a small temple with stones and placed the statue of Holy Consort Wu. This big banyan tree was also called the "Wu Ma Tree" or "Ma Ma Tree". As the number of believers increased, the temple was moved to the village and a larger temple was built.
