Bailu Temple

　　   Bailu Temple, also known as Huijiao Chan Temple, covers an area of approximately 1,600 square meters. It was first built during the Huangyou era (1049–1053) of the Northern Song Dynasty, situated atop Huangyan Mountain in Bailu Shan. Nestled among dense woods and bamboo groves, the temple complex consists of a main hall in two sections and over 70 side rooms. Its architecture features Ming and Qing styles, while the column bases retain characteristics from the Song and Yuan periods. Known as the “Number One Sacred Site in West Zhejiang,” the temple also boasts a plaque inscribed with “Mahavira Hall” by Zhao Puchu, hanging prominently above the main hall.

　　   Below Huangyan at Bailu Temple, the temple hangs dramatically hundreds of feet above the southern cliffs—both thrilling and breathtaking. Visitors ascending to its heights can gaze into the distance to see the undulating peaks of Mirror Screen Mountain, Jiulong Mountain, and others stretching into the horizon; meanwhile, peaks such as Wulong and Fuchun rise majestically against the sky, sprawling continuously. The view sweeps across Lan City, faint yet distinct, while the Qu and Wu Rivers meander like ribbons. Looking down at the terraced fields, layers of green spread out, with villages scattered like brushstrokes on a painting.
