Prince Temple

　　   In the summer of the fifth year of the Jihe era (236 AD), continuous heavy rain caused severe flooding, resulting in a devastating disaster. Emperor Sun Quan of Wu, along with his heir apparent, Sun Deng, came to provide relief to the victims and stayed in the area. Tragically, the prince fell ill and passed away here. The local people built a temple in memory of the prince, naming it Prince Temple. Since then, the place has been known by the name of the temple.

　　   Throughout history, Prince Temple has weathered many ups and downs and was once on the verge of collapse. It was renovated in 1994, and the restoration project was completed in June 2000. The current Prince Temple has been completely revitalized. Its main structure consists of three courtyards. The “Mahayana Zen Forest” plaque features upturned eaves and flying rafters, while the “Prince Hall,” “Maitreya Hall,” and “Mahavira Hall” are resplendent and magnificent. To the left is the reception hall, and to the right are meditation rooms and a dining hall. The architectural design is classic and elegant, with an imposing presence.
