## About Huanglong Temple

Huanglong Temple sits at the foot of Yuping Peak, cradled by myriad mountains and encircled by pines and firs. It was first built during the Wanli era (Ming dynasty) by the monk Shi Chekong. Legend says that when Shi Chekong traveled to the foot of Yuping Peak and saw its lush pine forests, clear pools and cascading waterfalls, with their secluded beauty, he vowed to settle there and spread the Dharma.
