The Fuhu Temple is the first full-scale temple up the mountain way. One can find several similarities to the earlier Nation-dedicating Temple. Its first hall being the Laughing Buddha hall is dedicated to the laughing Buddha with four deva kings on the two sides. Also its second hall is the Hall of Universal Benevolence god, again dedicated to god of Universal Benevolence. The third hall is the Great Hero Hall, which is dedicated to three-bodied Sakyamuni. The second hall and the third hall form a courtyard surrounded by tall trees. Thanks to the natural barrier of mountain & forest as well as the steady light breeze, leafs and dirt can hardly be seen in the temple area. Thus, Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty gave the temple the name “Lihou Yuan” referring to a dirt-less garden. Not far away Fuhu temple, tourists can find Luofeng Peak. On clear days, visitors can locate “fine clouds on Luofeng Peak”, one of the top 10 scenes of Mountain Emei.
