Yong'an Temple in Fanshi

Yong'an Temple is a cultural heritage site protected by Fanshi County.

Yong'an Temple is located in Daminyan Village, Yantou Township, Fanshi County. Originally named Fenglin Temple, it faces south. The temple measures 32.3 meters from north to south and 17 meters from east to west, covering an area of 549 square meters. Its exact founding date is unknown, but the current structure dates back to the Ming Dynasty. It has a two-courtyard layout, with only the passageway hall and the main hall remaining along the central axis. The temple originally had a kiln tower and west wing rooms, both of which have now been destroyed. The main hall stands on a stone base that is 1.5 meters high. The hall is three bays wide and six rafters deep, with a single-eave hip-and-gable roof and a seven-rafter front-and-rear corridor structure. The front eaves of the central and side bays feature lattice doors. A stone tablet commemorating the temple’s renovation in the 16th year of the Chongzhen era of the Ming Dynasty (1643) is preserved inside the temple. On April 15, 1985, the Fanshi County People's Government designated it as a county-level cultural heritage site.
