Yongqing Temple
永庆寺
A temple in Chengmai County, traced back to the Song dynasty and rebuilt in recent years, with imposing halls and a volcanic-rock tropical forest nearby. It is close to Yingbin Peninsula.
Yongqing Temple is in Laocheng Town, Chengmai County. Legend says it was first built in the Song dynasty, but the current temple is a recent rebuild. Its halls rise in tiers along the hillside on a grand scale, including the Heavenly Kings Hall, the Great Buddha Hall and the Guanyin Pavilion, and it draws a steady stream of worshippers. The surrounding tropical woodland, growing on volcanic rock, is well preserved and peaceful. Entry is free, subject to the temple's announced hours. It is about 40 minutes by car from downtown Haikou and can be visited on the same day as Yingbin Peninsula and Fushan Coffee Town.
