Introduction to Ganlu Temple: Located above Qiao'an, on the east side of the Winding Mountain Highway, it was originally named Ganlu Temple, also known as Ganlu Zen Forest. It was built during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty and is one of the four major jungles in Jiuhua Mountain. The temple is built on the mountain. It is solemn and simple. The existing main hall and dormitories are facing south and north. A new Buddhist scripture building is built behind the main hall. A dining hall and 2-5 floors of ancillary buildings are built on the west side of the main hall. The new and old buildings of the whole temple are nearly 10,000 square meters. They are all in the style of residential buildings in southern Anhui. In 1990, the Jiuhuashan Buddhist Association founded the Jiuhuashan Buddhist College here, which is a key temple in the country.
