It is situated in the southeastern part of Dunhua City, on the northern bank of the Mudan River. The site consists of an inner and outer city, with the outer city having a perimeter of approximately 2 kilometers. It is believed that Aodong City was the early capital of the Bohai State (698–926), hence it is referred to as the "Old State." The presiding monk, Master Shifoxing, endured great hardship to raise funds for the temple’s reconstruction from donors both in China and abroad.
The temple features a unique architectural style and embodies a design philosophy that harmonizes heaven and humanity, adding to its spiritual charm.
