Pulandian Longtan Temple

Pulandian Longtan Temple is a cultural tourism attraction.

Also known as Taishan Temple, it is located downstream of the Wusi Reservoir in Beitai Village, Fengrong Subdistrict (formerly Paozi Township), Pulandian City. Nestled against a mountain and beside water, it was first built in the 36th year of the Qianlong reign and named Dragon King Temple. It was renovated in the 6th year of the Guangxu reign and renamed Taishan Temple.

The temple was destroyed during the Cultural Revolution. In 2005, it was rebuilt and renamed Longtan Temple. Facilities include a main gate, mountain gate, Dharmapala Hall, statues of Sakyamuni Buddha and Maitreya Buddha, the Heavenly King Hall, Dragon King Hall, Medicine King Hall, Guanyin Hall, a liberation pond, a meditation courtyard, and more. Originally built during the Qing Dynasty, Longtan Temple initially had no Buddha statues—only the God of Wealth and a statue of the "Crooked Neck" figure. Master Huilin (ordained in Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province, and abbot of Fengfu Temple in Wuxi) was appointed as the supervising monk of Pulandian Longtan Temple in Dalian on January 1, 2007. He took over the management of the temple, determined to revitalize Buddhism and promote the true Dharma.
