Longhua Nunnery

　　    Longhua Nunnery is situated in the Dongxu Market of the county town and was originally constructed during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. Its roof was covered with thatch, which collapsed after over 70 years. The structure was repaired in the late Qianlong era and underwent major renovation during the Daoguang period, when a tiled roof was installed. It was in that very year that Lin Shao’tang, the top imperial scholar, along with a group of companions, visited Suixi and praised Longhua Nunnery, saying, “The nunnery is radiant, and the Buddha statues are majestic.” On the spot, he inscribed the three large characters “Longhua Nunnery” and composed a matching couplet. The architecture follows a two-courtyard quadrangle layout and is quite grand in scale, featuring two Buddhist figure statues. Currently, the site enjoys a thriving flow of worshippers.
