Longxing Temple, the place where Saichō, the founder of the Tendai sect, was ordained.

Longxing Temple is where Tang Dynasty monk Jianzhen resided, where Saichō, the founder of the Japanese Tendai sect, was ordained, and the birthplace of Japanese tea ceremony. The architecture has a strong Tang Dynasty style. Passing through the Shanmen Hall, there is a bridge and pond surrounded by exquisite stone railings. In front of the Mahavira Hall is a large cauldron, and behind it, the half-body of a pagoda is visible, immediately evoking a strong Buddhist atmosphere. The temple is peaceful, bright, and has an extraordinary aura. Monks are doing their work, and this is the venue for the FJ event in Linhai City. Longxing Temple was built in the first year of the Shenlong era (705) of the Tang Dynasty and was originally named "Shenlong Temple." In the third year of the Tianbao era (744) of the Tang Dynasty, Jianzhen stayed here during his fourth voyage to Japan. His disciple Sito was a high monk at the temple at the time and later accompanied Jianzhen on his voyage to Japan.
