Ruichang Longquan Temple Religious Tourism & Cultural Area

The Ruichang Longquan Temple Religious Tourism & Cultural Area is a cultural tourism attraction.

Longquan Temple is located in the suburbs of Ruichang City, 3 kilometers from the city center, surrounded by Longyuan Reservoir and Longyuan Forest Farm. Legend has it that this is the birthplace of the dragon. The temple is bustling with incense, representing folk belief and serving as a sacred site for local residents' religious worship.

Zhao Puchu, President of the Buddhist Association of China, inscribed the temple’s name. The couplet “How many springs in the world could inspire Yue Fei to compose an inscription and Sima Guang to write a record? There is no other temple in the world that has been granted an imperial plaque by a Song emperor and provided shelter to a Han general” encapsulates its significance. The municipal government has allocated 132 mu of land for the temple’s expansion and has included the planned 5,000-mu mountain forest area within the project in the local public welfare forest system for closure and conservation. This work is currently underway. The road leading to the scenic area has been completed, and the reinforcement project of the dam at Longyuan Reservoir within the scenic area has been largely finished.
