Anji Xingfu Temple

Anji Xingfu Temple is a cultural tourism attraction.

Xingfu Temple is located in the central foothills of Guoxiao Mountain, Xiaoyuan Subdistrict, Anji County, Zhejiang Province. The temple was first built in the Renzi year of the Hongwu era of the Ming Dynasty (1372), and at its peak, it was a large complex housing nearly 100 monks. However, the temple suffered several setbacks over the years and was ultimately destroyed during the Cultural Revolution. Its ruins, steles, and cultural relics are well preserved. The tomb of Guo Ju and its stele, a county-level cultural relic protection unit, are located within the temple.

Xingfu Temple currently covers an area of 9,357 square meters. It sits against the main peak of Guoxiao Mountain and is surrounded by branching mountain ranges, forming a beautiful small basin. It is a treasured site where Buddhist culture and filial piety culture blend. In June 2010, with approval from the Huzhou Municipal Bureau of Ethnic and Religious Affairs, Xingfu Temple was rebuilt.
