Default 94 accord slightly overheated???

i have a honda accord 94, but its engine is kinda overheated these days.
1, it has a new water tank last year.
2, on a normal drive, the temperature will be in between the red zone line and the middle line.
3, every time i kill my engine after driving about 10km, the coolant fan will still keep running for above 3 minutes.

is there anything wrong with my accord?
if there is, how can i solve such a problem?

thanks.

What do you mean by water tank, is that the radiator or the plastic overflow bottle near the battery.

When engine is cold, remove the radiator cap and see if the coolant is filled to the top of the radiator. The thermostat may be the culprit. When the engine is warm, both radiator hoses should be at about the same temperature.

If there's coolant in the overflow bottle, but it's low in the radiator, it can be a bad radiator cap.
