Lanzhou's City God temple, dedicated like Tianshui's to the Han general Ji Xin, dates back at least to the Song and took its present layout after a rebuilding in 1837. Along its axis stand a memorial archway moved here in 1956 from a Ming princely garden, an opera stage rebuilt in 2003, an offering hall with gilded Qing boards and a double-eaved main hall; the compound is used as the city's No. 1 Workers' Club.
