Hongfu Temple

Hongfu Temple is a Buddhist sanctuary located on Mount Qianling that contains multiple major halls arranged across its grounds. The complex includes the Mahavira Hall, Jade Buddha Hall, and Four Heavenly Kings Hall, each built in traditional Chinese architectural style.

The temple was founded in 1672 by monk Chisong during the Qing dynasty as a new religious center in the region. In 1739, the imperial court granted it a complete Buddhist canon, marking official recognition of its importance.

This temple serves as an active center for Buddhist practice where monks and devotees gather for daily prayers and ceremonies. Visitors can observe the living traditions and spiritual routines that continue to shape how people use this sacred space.

The site is accessible on foot with pathways throughout its grounds suitable for most visitors. It is best to wear respectful clothing and observe the behavioral guidelines that apply at sacred sites.

The bell tower houses an ancient bronze bell that has sounded during important ceremonies for centuries. This instrument remains a working part of daily temple life rather than a museum piece.
