The Huangluo Buddhist Temple is located in Nianbang Village, Yangchenghu Town, Xiangcheng District, Suzhou City. It is adjacent to Yangcheng Lake in the east, and the Guanjing River flows behind the temple. The temple is surrounded by water on three sides. Inside the temple, there are long corridors and waterside pavilions with beautiful scenery. The rivers and alleys crisscross, the shore willows are in rows, and the trees are shady. The scenery is beautiful and pleasant. It is the only temple in the Yangtze River Delta region that combines the architectural style of the northern school. The temple was originally built in the middle of the Tang Dynasty and was originally named Jishan Nunnery. At that time, the incense was prosperous, and pilgrims were spread all over the Jiangnan area. During the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, this nunnery was renamed ‘Wanglu Nunnery’, which means that there were officials and nobles who had stayed here. Therefore, there are still the names of Guanjing Bridge and Guanjing River. Later, it is said that Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty went down to the south of the Yangtze River to look for his father and stayed here for one night. So it was renamed ‘Huangluo Nunnery’. Huangluo Buddhist Temple is a famous Buddhist resort in Suzhou and also the location of the Suzhou Buddhist Association. It has a long and ancient cultural history and is an ideal place for religious activities and tourism and leisure.
