Haikou - Temple of the Five Dignataries Wugong Ci
The Temple of the Five Dignataries (Wugong Ci) on the southern edge of the town was built in 1889 in memory of five statesmen from the Tang and Song period (618-1279) who had been banished to Hainan Island. On a stone tablet in front of the temple visitors can see the relevant legend written by the Song Emperor Huizong (1082-1135), who was famous as a calligrapher.
