Huilong Temple
Huilong Temple, also known as Hui Long Temple, derives its name from the two rivers in front of and to the left of the temple that look like two dragons encircling and flowing around it. Originally built during the Ming Dynasty, the current Huilong Temple was constructed in the 16th year of the Kangxi reign in the Qing Dynasty and largely retains the architectural style of the early Qing period. Seven stone inscriptions on the walls of the temple’s main hall document its history. Inside the temple stands an ancient bronze bell, cast in the 43rd year of Kangxi’s reign. It is the only surviving ancient bell in the county and is listed as a key cultural relic under local protection.
Huilong Temple is a county-level cultural heritage protection unit.
