A key temple in China. First constructed in Jiaqin period, Ming Dynasty, it is a palace-like building and halls overlap halls, with palaces, halls and courts delicately connected, configurations are refinement, filled with grandiosity. Inside, a massive figure of “Heng San Shi” buddha is worshiped, which is the biggest figure in Mountain Jiuhua. Qiyuan Temple backs on Dongya hill, faces Tiger Hill. When the sun is rising in dimly discernible fog, monks and nuns begin to read sutra, the beating sound of wooden fish and bell. |
