Xinzhou Longquan Temple|With holy spring and stone carvings.

|With holy spring and stone carvings. Longquan Temple was first built in the Song Dynasty and was originally the family temple of the Yang family. It was rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty and expanded over 14 years during the Republic of China, creating the luxurious and huge Longquan Temple. The stone archway is located at the front of the temple, with a temple on a stone, and the layout is very clever. The most impressive part of the entire temple is the stone carvings of Longquan Temple. The carvings include dignified Buddha statues, vivid birds and beasts, lush flowers, numerous rare fruits, various stone lions, and 89 coiled dragons. The various patterns are meticulously carved, and the exquisite craftsmanship is breathtaking. It is more exquisite than the stone carvings of the Forbidden City in Beijing, and it is rare in China. Next to Longquan Temple is a spring named "Longquan". According to legend, there were nine dragons doing evil in the past. Manjushri Bodhisattva pressed them under the mountain. The clear water bottom can see the shadows of nine small dragons, hence the name of the temple. Location: 5 kilometers south of Taihuai Town, Wutai Mountain, Xiaochegou Village, Jiulonggang Mountain Admission: Free
