Jiuhua Mountain Temple

Jiuhua Mountain Temple is a cultural relic protection unit of Anyang County.

Jiuhua Mountain Temple is located northwest of Xiabao Village, Xujia Gou Township. The mountain features ancient temple architecture. The temple faces south with its back to the north and is enclosed by stone walls. Most of the structures were destroyed before 1949, but the remaining stone arched chambers are relatively well-preserved. Behind the temple, on a sheer cliff, there is a natural cave called Heilong Cave (Black Dragon Cave), which is about 80 meters deep, 2 meters wide, and 2.5 meters high. Inside the temple, there are preserved stone inscriptions including the "Jiuhua Mountain Stele Record" from the 43rd year of the Kangxi reign in the Qing Dynasty (1704), the "Restoration Stele Record" from the 14th year of the Jiaqing reign (1809), the "Jiuhua Mountain Temple Restoration Stele Record" from the 24th year of the Daoguang reign (1844), as well as undated inscriptions such as the "Jiuhua Mountain Dragon Vein and Mountain-Water Treatise" and the "Jiuhua Mountain Temple Walls and Mountain Gate Treatise." Research indicates that the temple was built in the late Ming and early Qing periods. It is designated as a county-level cultural relic protection unit.
