Introduction to Yongning Temple: Yancheng Yongning Temple was built in the sixth year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty (AD 624). Its former site is located at the north end of Guangming Lane in Yancheng County (now the south playground of Yancheng Middle School). It was one of the thirty-six famous temples in the country at that time. In early 1993, the People's Government of Yancheng City decided to rebuild Yongning Temple in another place, facing south and covering an area of 40 acres.
