Quanfu Temple

Quanfu Temple

Quanfu Temple is a cultural tourism attraction.

In the first year of the Yuanyou era during the Song Dynasty (1086), Zhou Dipugong, a local resident, donated his residence to establish a temple located by Baixian Lake. After successive expansions over the dynasties, with overlapping Buddhist halls and flourishing incense offerings, it became a widely renowned monastery known as Quanfu Temple. It was rebuilt in 1995 as a temple garden that incorporates water views. Its main structures include: the Mountain Gate, Zhigui Pavilion, the Mahavira Hall, and the Scripture Depository. The entire temple is meticulously structured, with majestic halls, yellow walls and exposed tiles, carved beams and painted rafters, presenting a magnificent sight. The landscape design ingeniously utilizes the water features, creating an extraordinary scene with pavilions and halls densely arranged. Quanfu Temple embodies both the profound richness of Buddhist culture and the exquisite beauty of architectural art. Its garden scenery is poetic and picturesque, making it a place where visitors linger with delight.
