Huichang Qingliang Temple

Huichang Qingliang Temple

Huichang Qingliang Temple is a cultural tourism attraction.

Huichang Qingliang Chan Temple, originally named Nanchan Temple, was located on South Street in the county town. Historical records indicate it was first built during the Song Dynasty, over 600 years ago. During the Cultural Revolution, it was leveled and repurposed, with high-rise buildings erected where the sacred site once stood.

In 1993, it was relocated to Chaguoshan in the eastern suburbs. On the eve of the completion of the Mahavira Hall in 1995, an application was submitted to rename it Qingliang Chan Temple. Over the past ten years, the temple has successively constructed the Ksitigarbha Hall, Guanyin Hall, Heavenly King Hall, chanting hall, guest hall, dining hall, monastic quarters, guest rooms, a liberation pond, and the Bodhi Bridge, covering a total construction area of over 10,000 square meters. The entire temple complex is shaded by pine trees and features serene, winding paths. Structures still under planning include a scripture depository, Arhat Hall, and the paving of the mountain access road, all of which are being gradually planned year by year.

The resident monks and lay practitioners number 18, all of whom take chanting the Buddha’s name as their daily practice, occasionally undertaking minor rituals, living harmoniously together and contentedly embracing a simple life.
