Quannan Guangming Temple

　　Guangming Temple is situated within the territory of Zhaokeng Forest Farm, at the tail end of Longxing Reservoir, about 13 kilometers from the county seat. It was originally built during the Ming Dynasty. Legend says that immortals once descended here, prompting local residents to fund the construction of two temples and statues of deities. Later, during a severe drought, the then-county magistrate of Longnan County prayed for rain upstream along the river and succeeded, after which he bestowed a plaque inscribed with “Showering Blessings Upon the People.”

　　 The temple was rebuilt in 1990. It now includes one sacred shrine, four residential buildings, six temple halls, and several other auxiliary facilities. The planned Great Buddha’s Hall is currently under construction. Built against the mountain, the sacred shrine features uniquely shaped peaks behind it, a babbling stream in front, and a solemn atmosphere inside. Representing Taoist culture, Guangming Temple attracts many devout worshippers every year. Across from it lies Longxing Lake, which currently covers an area of 1.5 square kilometers and includes six small islands. At present, the lake only has simple fishing platforms, one pavilion, one dining facility, as well as two speedboats and several wooden boats available for visitors’ enjoyment.
