Construction history

It is said that when the old monk was practicing Buddhism, he was inspired three times by the king of Tibet to look for a blessed place in his dream to build a temple. So the old monk led his disciples around Shanxi Province. At last, he came to a place that was green and famous for its abundant wild hibiscus, and began to build a temple with his disciples. Thanks to Shanxin's support, the temple of futu and the two corridors of the retreat were built in 1902. In 1933, the Shanmen, Tianwang hall and Daxiong hall were under construction. By 1933, the whole temple was finally completed.

Longmen of the Yellow River

The Yellow River flows through Yumenkou and is confined between high mountains and canyons. The closer to Longmen, the narrower the riverbed. The galloping Yellow River, constrained by the gorge, flies into a rage. It is full of thunder. However, it is squeezed in the riverbed by the quiet mountain gorge. It breaks into the dragon gate at the end of the gorge, makes a sharp turn, and then bumps into the cliff. It roars, flying out layers of snow waves. It turns its head, pours back on the huge stones on the other side, and roars again, flying out layers of snow waves. Hit back the huge reef island in the river bed, roared wildly again, spurted water columns into the sky, after a while of noise, trembled from the air, fell to the bottom of the valley and jumped out of the dragon's gate. The three waves in Longmen are the wonders of the Yellow River for thousands of years, which have aroused the poetic and picturesque feelings of countless scholars. Now, longmenkou has built a new railway bridge, highway bridge and railway bridge, connecting the Qin and Jin provinces. Three bridges juxtaposed across the Yellow River, such as three flying rainbow, adding to the extraordinary momentum of Longmen.

From then on, there were no explorers. Standing at the entrance of the cave, there are huge rocks hanging upside down on the top of the cave, the Yellow River from the sky at the foot, the mountains surrounded by clouds and smoke on the opposite side, and the stone Buddha that has lived for thousands of years behind.
