Nantai Temple

Nantai Temple was first built in the Tianjian period of Liang dynasty (502-557) by Master Haiyin (海印).

[1][2] In 742, in the 2nd year of Tianbao period of Tang dynasty (618-907), Shitou Xiqian came to build a Buddhist temple here.

[1][2] During the Qianlong period of Qing dynasty (1644-1911), buildings and halls of Nantai Temple collapsed for neglect.

After the 3rd plenary session of the 11th Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party, according to the national policy of free religious belief, Nantai Temple was reconstructed and reopened.

In 1981, a Thai Chinese couple Huang Zhangren (黄彰任) and Ouyang Yu (欧阳愚) presented a gilt bronze Buddha statue to the temple.
