In 1880, Fuyuan temple was built at No. 10, East shizixiang, Changzhou, Jiangsu Province. In the 26th year of the Republic of China, the Anti Japanese war broke out, the temple was destroyed, and the nuns were evacuated. In the 27th year of the Republic of China, abbot Yuangen took refuge in Shanghai. With the help of believers, he raised funds and built an nunnery at No. 15, Xinguang village, Yuyuan Road (now No. 31, Lane 465, Zhenning Road), with a base of 104 square meters. There are upper and lower Buddha halls for worshiping the three Western Saints (Guanyin, dizang king and pharmacist Buddha). The incense flourished until the early 1960s. During the "Cultural Revolution", the courtyard house was occupied and the nuns changed their jobs. After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the temple house was returned and the Buddha Hall was repaired. On February 4, 1986, it was reopened. In 1988, due to the transformation of the old houses in the area, the Zen house moved into a temporary house. In 1993, the new courtyard (the present site of Zhenning Road) was completed, and the foundation of the courtyard was expanded to more than 300 square meters. It is dedicated to the Bodhisattvas of Guanyin, dizang king, pharmacist Buddha, etc.

The inscription "Fuyuan Chan yuan" on the plaque of this temple was inscribed by master Ming min.
