Chaoyang Temple

Chaoyang Temple is a cultural tourism attraction.

Originally named Taishen Temple, Chaoyang Temple is located in Qiandian Village, Qiandian Town. Built during the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty, it is a typical temple that integrates Buddhism and Taoism and is designated as a county-level cultural heritage site. In front of the temple stands a theater stage, with the Lingguan Hall at its southeast corner and the Shui Nainai Temple to the west.

The main structure consists of a three-courtyard complex. The foremost courtyard houses the bell and drum towers and the monks' living quarters. The second courtyard mainly contains the Goddess Hall, with the Yama Halls on the east and west sides, and the Five Immortals Hall in the eastern side courtyard. The third courtyard’s main hall enshrines Sakyamuni Buddha, Manjushri Bodhisattva, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, and the Eighteen Arhats. The east room is the Medicine King Hall, which houses ten revered physicians including Sun Simiao, Bian Que, and Hua Tuo. The west side is the Fire God Temple, dedicated to the Southern Fire Deity. To the south is the Skanda Bodhisattva. Chaoyang Temple is now one of the key attractions in the Hundred-Mile Landscape Gallery scenic area. Grand folk temple fairs are held here annually on the 18th day of the fourth lunar month and the ninth day of the ninth lunar month.
