龙泉寺

Longquan Temple is in a valley west of Jinshan Town in Harqin Banner. It is said to have been first built during the Liao dynasty and rebuilt in the Yuan. Most of the surviving buildings date from the Ming and Qing dynasties to the Republic period. It is named after a spring beside the temple that never runs dry, and it is one of the oldest Han Chinese Buddhist temples in eastern Inner Mongolia. The temple is built into the mountainside, with ancient pines and rocks around it, and stone inscriptions preserved among its halls. A mountain path offers views over Jinshan Town. The temple is small and rarely crowded, so it works well as part of a route with Lingyue Temple and the Harqin Prince's Palace.
