Jiulong Temple on Mount Wugong
Jiulong Temple on Mount Wugong is a cultural tourism attraction.
Jiulong Temple, also known as Shengfo Chanlin Temple, is located in the open center of the Jiulong Convergence area on Jiulong Mountain. The old temple covered an area of about 4 mu, consisting of a front hall, middle hall, and rear hall, with walls built from rough-hewn stone and a roof covered in iron tiles. It was established by the Yuan Dynasty eminent monk Futu Ningzhou and his younger brother Tianwen, who cleared the land and built the foundation. Legend has it that the temple once housed over 100 monks and thrived for more than 300 years until it declined in the late Qing Dynasty. The temple was eventually destroyed and the monks scattered, leaving behind numerous ruins and remains.
