Huzhou Baique Fahua Temple

Huzhou Baique Fahua Temple on December 12, 2021

Fahua Temple is located at the southern foot of Taihu Lake Tourist Resort in Huzhou and at the eastern foot of Bianshan Mountain, the main peak of South Taihu Lake.

The original name is Shidoushan, also known as Baique Temple. Shanyin Temple is one of the oldest and most influential Buddhist temples in the Taihu Lake area.

It is said that Bianshan is a sacred mountain, formerly known as Phoenix Mountain. There is a royal aura in the mountain. According to legend, during the Southern and Northern Dynasties (479-501), there was a bhikshuni who learned the Dharma from Bodhidharma. She lived in seclusion in Bianfeng Shidou Mountain and recited the Lotus Sutra day and night for more than 20 years. During this period, there were white birds whirling around, as if listening to the Dharma. People have magical powers and respect it as Baique Mountain.
