The main hall of Chaoguo temple is dedicated to the Buddha statue of Sakyamuni, with nine Arhats on each side. On the eighth day of the first month of the lunar calendar, it is said that it is the 18th birthday of arhat. On this day, the islanders get up in the morning to take a bath and clean themselves, take incense candles and rush to Chaoguo temple. After entering the temple, burn incense and pray. After the ceremony, enter the temple. At this time, those who enter the temple need to pay attention to whether they cross the threshold with their left foot or right foot first - those with advanced left foot start counting from the arhat on the left, those with advanced right foot start counting from the right, and those over 18 years old have to cycle to the plural number until they reach their own age - the appearance, expression and objects of the arhat can predict the fate of your lunar new year. For many years, people on Daishan island have followed the custom of counting Arhats.

It was built in the second year of Tianfu in Jin Dynasty (937) and granted the present amount in the second year of Zhiping in Song Dynasty (1065). Chaoguo temple was built in the second year of Tianfu in the Late Jin Dynasty (937). It used to be called Zifu temple. It is the earliest temple on Daishan island. The temple was built at the foot of gaotingling. Because it was close to the downtown and the sea, it was often robbed by pirates, so it was difficult for monks to live in peace. In the fourth year of Qiande in the Northern Song Dynasty (966), the temple was moved to the bottom of baishifeng in the west of moxinling. Baishifeng, one of the ten scenic spots in Penglai, is called "baishifeng snow". The peak is beautiful and straight, the forest is green and moist, and there are often white clouds covering the top of the mountain. In winter, snow covers the top of the mountain, making it a pleasant sight for boat people on the island and even on the sea. In the second year of Zhiping (1065), "gif Jin'e" - that is, the emperor gifted e Zifu temple as "Chaoguo Temple", which means "surpassing all living beings and achieving the right fruit".
