Taiyuan Taishan Travel Guide

Scenic spot introduction:

Longquan Temple in Taishan became famous throughout the country for a golden coffin that was suspected to contain Buddha relics. Originally named Haotian Temple, it was built in the first year of Jingyun of the Tang Dynasty (710). It was originally a Taoist temple. It was destroyed during the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, and was rebuilt in the early Ming Dynasty and turned into a Buddhist temple. The temple was built due to the mountain topography and is divided into upper and lower courtyards. The upper courtyard is the Guanyin Pavilion rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty. The main hall in the lower courtyard is a double-story pavilion-style building. The lower floor is dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva and the upper floor is dedicated to Sakyamuni Buddha. In the east of the courtyard, there is an unmarked Tang stele, and in the west of the temple, there are six tomb towers.
