Longzi Temple Spring

Longzi Temple Spring

Longzi Temple Spring is a cultural tourism attraction.

Introduction: Longzi Temple Spring is located at the foot of Gushan Mountain, 18 kilometers southwest of Linfen City, Shanxi Province. Numerous springs gush forth like honeycombs and ant nests, with water channels crisscrossing the area densely like a spider web. The spring has a flow rate of 6.25 cubic meters, which is divided into 12 official canals to irrigate the western Fen River region of Xiangling and Linfen counties. Longzi Temple, also known as the Temple of King Kangze, is situated beside the Longzi Spring. A temple fair is held here on the 15th day of the fourth lunar month, attracting large crowds of local residents. In front of the temple stands the Qingyin Pavilion, beside which is the Yunjin Bridge. The temple was originally built during the Tang Dynasty, expanded in the 13th year of the Zhiyuan era of the Yuan Dynasty (1276), and further renovated during the Ming and Qing dynasties. The existing mountain gate, passageway hall, middle hall, and rear hall were reconstructed during the Qing Dynasty. The temple houses numerous stone tablets and steles.
