Longchang Temple, Buddhist temple on Mount Baohua in Jurong, China

The temple features the grand Copper Hall and two Beamless Halls, which stand without supporting pillars or columns in their architectural design.

Founded in 502 as Qianhua Temple by monk Baozhi during the Liang dynasty, the temple received its current name during the Ming dynasty period.

The Hall of Ordination contains a stone carving ordination altar from 1705, serving as a central location for Buddhist ceremonies and rituals.

Visitors can explore the temple grounds to see the 400-year-old ginkgo trees and the 5.24-meter Sakyamuni statue in the Mahavira Hall.

The Copper Hall, built in 1605 with support from Empress Dowager Xiaoding, measures 7 meters high and houses a dedicated statue of Guanyin.
