Introduction

Hongluo Temple was first built in Eastern Jin Dynasty and expanded during the prime time of the Tang Dynasty. It was originally known as the Darning Temple. During the reign of Emperor Yingzong (1436-1450) of the Ming Dynasty, it was changed into Huguo Zifu Temple. It was called by the locals as Hongluo Temple due to the legend of the Hongluo Fairy Maiden. Hongluo Temple is the largest Buddhist temple in northern China. For the past 1,000 years, it has been a sacred site for Buddhism. Many famous Buddhist monks have a close tie with the temple.
