Yuantong Zen Temple

Yuantong Zen Temple is the main temple of Luojia Mountain, located on the flat ground at the mountain peak.

The temple was built during the Wanli era of the Ming Dynasty, initially as a small Yuantong Hermitage. Although it is still not considered a large temple, it is bustling with people and thriving with incense, embodying the charm of an ancient temple.
