Longjuzhai
  Longjuzhai, located in Longjuzhai, Danfeng County, was built in the 17th year of the Guangxu reign during the Qing Dynasty. It faces south and sits to the north, overlooking the Danjiang River. The entire building occupies an area of about 3,600 square meters, with a construction area of 1,000 square meters. There are auxiliary halls on the southern side, and the entire structure is made of wood and earth. The craftsmanship is exquisite, with intricate carvings. In the morning light, the glazed tiles on the roof shimmer brilliantly, presenting a magnificent sight. Due to its grand and luxurious architecture and the worship of the Danjiang River water deity enshrined within, it is commonly known as the “Flower Temple.”

  The main gate of the Flower Temple is designed like a three-bay memorial archway, featuring an architectural style reminiscent of the water towns in southern China. In particular, the Flower Opera Tower to the south has a unique structure—standing 36 meters high, 11 meters deep, and with an 8-meter-wide stage opening. The second floor is supported not by columns but by a multi-angular wooden framework stacked layer upon layer, tapering upwards to form a cone-shaped cage structure that bears the weight. Looking up from the center of the stage, it resembles a whirlpool in rushing waters—an ingenious design.

  A truly beautiful ancient building, it is a provincial-level key cultural relics protection unit, and the Danfeng County Museum is housed here.
