The temple is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the flat ground in the middle is the lower part of bajiahu village. It has a total area of 27 mu (18000 square meters).

Introduction to the temple

Because the temple was initiated by some Han people with strong belief in Buddhism and approved by the government to be built, Zhao Puchu, then president of China Buddhist Association, inscribed "faming Temple" for the temple, taking the meaning of "the lamp is always bright", so it was named faming temple.

The temple is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with fresh air and beautiful scenery. Overlooking the faming temple, it is under the blue sky and white clouds, with high mountains as a barrier, and the surrounding farmhouses are adjacent to each other. With the warm winter and cool summer atmosphere, it is a rare geomantic treasure land.

Faming temple was built in 1985 and was basically completed in 1988. The building covers an area of 11000 square meters, of which the Guanyin hall is divided into two floors above and below the ground, covering an area of 144 square meters, and the dizang hall is divided into two floors above and below the ground, covering an area of 144 square meters; the wuguantang (canteen), Daliao (kitchen) and the warehouse each cover an area of 300 square meters, and the two wing rooms cover an area of about 1000 square meters. The temple is well-equipped with water and electricity. It is warm in winter and cool in summer. It has a pleasant climate, especially when it faces Liangzi mountain in Pingxi, a tourist resort. It's like being in the fairyland of nature. The number of Buddhists gathered and increased at every major Dharma meeting, reaching more than 5000 at the peak.
