Qingshuiyan Temple Introduction
According to legend, Qing Shui Yan was founded by the monk Jue Tong from Quanzhou in 1728. He built a thatched hut to practice Buddhism in solitude, which moved devotees; over time, the temple's popularity grew, leading to fundraising for its construction. It was not until 1758 that the thatched hut was transformed into a temple, dedicated to the Three Jewels Buddha. The disciples established a hidden channel to guide mountain spring water, creating a well named "Xixin Pool." The area of Qing Shui Yan is spacious, surrounded by an elegant environment with dense forests, a tranquil atmosphere, and clear mountain spring flows. Every spring, when all things revive, the blossoming season brings life, and "Qing Shui Spring Scenery" is recognized as one of the eight scenic spots of Zhangyi.
