Longpan Temple has a rich history, dating back to the Liang Dynasty’s Tianjian era (502-519 AD), making it over 1400 years old. The temple once had over 120 rooms, with a grand and magnificent architectural complex that was truly impressive. During the Anti-Japanese War, Longpan Temple served as the base for the Jinhua Brigade of the Zhejiang East Guerrilla Forces. After more than a millennium of changes, Longpan Temple has taken on a new look. Particularly since 1996, Xiaoshun Town has established the Longpan Temple Scenic Area Management Committee, which has unified planning and overall development for the temple, turning a new page in the better utilization of scenic resources. Thanks to the relentless efforts of the committee members and its advantageous geographical location, Longpan Temple has become a well-known scenic and historical area with Buddhism as its main culture, yet not losing its modern style.
