Panlong Temple, originally built during the Ming Dynasty, is named after the terrain of Huangxian Village, which resembles “a dragon coiled and a tiger crouching”.
The temple has been a renowned religious site along the eastern coastal area of Fenghua for centuries, with a thriving incense culture. Historically, it has been a Buddhist holy land with many monks and a flourishing incense culture. Three hundred years ago, it was the center of Buddhist culture in the eastern part of Fenghua.
Situated in the heart of Huangxian Village, the temple is surrounded by mountains on three sides and close to water on one, resembling a coiled dragon. The temple features a grand compound stone archway, a rare sight in Eastern Zhejiang. It is also one of the main attractions in the Huangxian Forest Park tourism area.
Before the liberation, it was destroyed by war but has been rebuilt in a new location with a more significant scale, covering an area of over 5,000 square meters. The tranquil valley is often filled with the sound of bells, adding a sense of peace and harmony to the ancient cultural village.
