About Baohua Mountain Longchang Temple
The temple's connection with the Vinaya tradition centres on monastic discipline and ordination. Monks including Sanmei and Jianyue developed its role as a place for conferring precepts, making ritual function an important part of the site's architectural history.
Two beamless halls, built in 1605, flank the building known as the Copper Hall. Their two-storey forms imitate timber architecture on the outside, but brick vaults support their interiors. The contrast between their outward appearance and construction is one of the monastery's most distinctive details.
What to look for
- The pair of beamless halls and their brick-vaulted interiors.
- The Copper Hall setting between the two beamless halls.
- The monastery's position among Baohua Mountain's surrounding hills.
