Xiangshan Temple

Xiangshan Temple, which ranked the first among the ten temples at Longmen, is situated in the middle mountainside of the East Hill. The East Longmen Hill is teemed with spices name “Xiangge”, hence the name Xiangshan. Then the temple was named Xiangshan Temple.

The original construction site of the Xiangshan Temple was located somewhere near the former sanatorium of Luoyang Bearing Corporation in the south end of the East Longmen Hill.

The present Xianshan Temple was reconstructed in about 1707, during the Qing Dyansty, on the basis of an old temple. In 2002, Xiangsha Temple was expanded on the basis of the Qing Xiangshan Temple by Longmen Grottoes Administration, with the Beltry, the Drum Tower , the Wing Room, the Hall of Mahavira and Hall of Nine Persons newly constructed. Besides, the Hall of Arhats, the stele of Emperor Qianlong, the belfry, the Palace of Emperor Qianlong, Wing-room, Eighten Arhats, the Villa of Jiang Jieshi and Song Meiling, the stairs, the plank roads and the bouding wall within the temple have all been remedied. A new gate was constructed to the south of the temple.
