The Hongluo Temple was first built in the fourth year of Xiankang in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD 338). As the saying goes, "there is Putuo in the south and Hongluo in the north". The thousand-year-old temple has its back against the majestic Hongluo Mountain in the north and faces the beautiful Hongluo Lake in the south. The temple is surrounded by tall ancient trees. The "Three Wonderful Sceneries of Hongluo Temple" – the imperial bamboo forest, male and female ginkgo biloba, and wisteria pines are dotted inside and outside the temple. Millions of green bamboos and more than a thousand acres of ancient pines embrace the whole temple, forming a beautiful scroll of "ancient temple hidden in the green".
