Fuyan Temple Scenic Area is located in Tongxiang City, under the jurisdiction of Fengming Street, consisting of the ancient temple Fuyan Zen Temple and Fuyan Cultural Garden, covering an area of more than 130 acres. It is now a national 3A-level tourist attraction and a religious tourist destination integrating leisure, worship, and health preservation.
Fuyan Zen Temple has a history of over 1500 years, and there is an ancient saying that ‘Fuyan Temple existed before Lingyin Temple.’ The temple’s architecture is magnificent, and during various festivals, incense days, and Buddha’s birthday, the temple is filled with clouds of incense and bustling with activity. Throughout several dynasties, numerous cultural relics and historical sites have been left behind, famous for the ‘Seven Treasures of Fuyan,’ which include the Cloud-Wrinkled Stone, Stone-Mended Bell, Yin-Yang Mirror, Shakyamuni Jade Buddha, Horsehide Drum, Five Hundred Arhats, and Jade Brilliance Golden Inscription Plaque. In addition, Fuyan Temple has had indissoluble connections with historical figures such as Yang Wanli, Kang Youwei, the brothers Lin Juemin and Lin Yinmin, Pu Hua, and Feng Zikai. Adjacent to the temple, the Fuyan Cultural Garden is a cultural park with Buddhist culture as its essence, divided into eastern and western gardens. The eastern garden is a typical Jiangnan water town garden, while the western garden mainly features Buddhist culture, with buildings such as the Unique Gateway, Screen Wall, and Dharma Sea Sanzang, all rich in Buddhist connotations. The Vegetarian Cultural Tourism Festival during the May Day period each year offers you a refined journey to taste vegetarian food, appreciate art, and experience Buddhist culture. In October, the Fuyan Zen Tea Banquet is a delightful journey for you to listen to Buddhist scriptures, taste Zen tea, and comprehend life. The opening hours are from 07:00 to 16:30 all year round.Fuyan Temple Scenic Area
