Wenquan Temple, originally built by monks Guanghui and Guangzhi during the late Ming Dynasty, is situated beside a spring of therapeutic hot springs and is embraced by surrounding mountains, also known as Tangshan Temple.

During the Kangxi reign, it was significantly rebuilt and expanded, attracting a constant flow of visitors and those seeking healing. After suffering from a great fire, it was reconstructed and continually expanded.
The hot spring water at Wenquan Temple contains a variety of minerals. Today, the area around Wenquan Temple has a well-equipped sanatorium that can accommodate tourists for sightseeing and recuperation. The temple is set in an elegant environment, surrounded by green mountains on all sides. It enjoys a fresh air and a picturesque setting by the mountains and waterside.
