Fuguo temple in Lijiang City

Fuguo temple was built in the 29th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1601 A.D.), and it was the first family temple of Mu's chieftain. The chieftain of Mu family invited the Mahayana Buddhist monks of Han Dynasty to chant scriptures and practice here, and became a Buddhist temple of Han Dynasty. The temple was named "jieshulin", and later was given the name of "Fuguo Temple" by Zhu Youjiao of emperor Xi of Ming Dynasty. Fuguo temple is the mother temple of the five major temples in Lijiang. There are many sacred relics and relics related to Karmapa activities in the temple.

The most famous temple is the former "liberation forest" Hall "five Phoenix Tower" (also known as "Fayun Pavilion"), its architecture is extremely exquisite, and enjoys a high reputation at home and abroad. The hall is 20 meters high, and it is a three story octagonal cornice Pavilion. There are 24 sky pecking cornices at the top, middle and bottom. No matter from which direction, it looks like five Phoenix wings, so the five Phoenix Tower also gets its name.

The temple was destroyed during the "Cultural Revolution" and has not yet been restored. Only the gate towers of "wufenglou" and "jielilin" have been preserved. They were moved to Heilongtan Park in Lijiang City in 1979 and listed as the key protected cultural relics in Yunnan Province for tourists to see.
