Hongfa Temple

Hongfa Temple is a Buddhist complex built on the slopes of Wutong Mountain with numerous buildings arranged in a carefully planned layout. The structures include halls for worship, meditation, and other religious functions spread across the mountainside.

Construction began in the 1980s, making this one of the first major Buddhist temple projects to be completed in the region after a long period. This marked an important moment in the revival of religious building activity.

The temple serves as a center for Buddhist worship and meditation for people throughout the region who come to practice their faith. The different halls each have their own purpose, creating spaces where visitors can observe traditional religious practices.

The temple is accessible on foot from the nearby botanical garden entrance and opens early in the morning for visitors. The best time to visit is on quieter weekdays when fewer people are around.

The complex houses one of China's largest vegetarian dining halls where visitors can experience traditional Buddhist meals. This feature makes it a place where people can observe spiritual practice and also participate in monastic traditions.
