Shengguo Temple, also known as Shengguo Temple, was originally called Chongsheng Temple. It was first constructed in the second year of the Kaihuang period during the reign of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. Later, during the Qianning period of Emperor Zhaozong of the Tang Dynasty, Master Yuanzhu Wenxi oversaw its reconstruction.
The temple’s history includes a period of relocation during the southward migration of the Song Dynasty, when it was moved to Baojia Mountain after being designated as the palace department yamen. It returned to its original site in the Yuan Dynasty, only to be destroyed during the Zhizheng period and later rebuilt during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty.
Despite the many changes it has experienced, Shengguo Temple remains a place where numerous ancient relics can still be found, making it a relatively concentrated area of historical interest. Among its notable features are inscriptions of the characters ‘Loyalty’ handwritten by Zhao Gou, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, as well as the scenic spots of Fangguang Rock and Moon Rock, which is known for its moon viewing opportunities.
The temple’s business hours and opening status are subject to the day’s operational circumstances.
