Ziguo Temple
资国寺
An ancient Tang-dynasty temple on the summit of Lianfeng Mountain, southeast of the city. Rebuilt in Tang style, it overlooks the urban area of Fuding.
Ziguo Temple sits on the top of Lianfeng Mountain about 3 km southeast of Fuding city center. It was founded in 860, the first year of the Xiantong era of the Tang dynasty, and belongs to the Caodong school of Chan Buddhism. It was one of the six major temples of old Fuding. The 2006 super typhoon Saomai caused severe damage, after which the temple was rebuilt in Tang style. The grounds cover more than 160 mu, with layered halls and wide views. 'Lotus Dawn Moon' is one of the Eight Scenes of Fuding. The temple is free to enter and is open about 07:00-17:00 (subject to temple notices), with free parking at the gate. Getting there: Bus No. 3 runs directly to the gate from the city, and a taxi takes about 10 minutes. Please dress modestly and keep quiet during your visit.
