The restoration of the Xiangji Temple in Hangzhou, one of the most important cultural relics to the southern end of the Grand Canal, is of inestimable value to the achievement of the three goals in the Canal project, i.e. to resume the civil use of the Canal, to apply for its inscription on the Representative List of World Cultural Heritage and to make it an international tourist resort. The present paper is a comprehensive study on the historical vicissitudes of the Temple, involving its surroundings, the meaning of its name, and its evolution.
