Hongfu Temple was founded by monk Song Chi in 2672, with a history of more than 300 years. It is a famous ancient temple in central Guizhou. Hongfu Temple is located on the flat land where the three peaks of the Tomb, Jaco and Pagoda intersect, surrounded by mountains on three sides and shaded by trees. This flat land is a karst funnel, with a small piece missing in the direction of nine winding paths, which is large in the west and small in the east, high in the west and low in the east. Li Siguang, a famous professor of geology, called it a snow basin. This flat land, no matter how big the mountain torrents are, is drained by karst funnels or gaps, which will not harm Hongfu Temple. This is a land of feng shui. Hongfu Temple was built according to the topography of this geomantic treasure land. Hongfu Temple faces east from west, and its overall layout looks like an "A". The temple is divided into three axes: south, middle and north; Forward, middle and left. The tall mountain gate stands at the drooping place of the word "A", which is a triple stone archway engraved with five gold-plated characters of Mr. Dong's book "The First Mountain in Southern Guizhou". The entrance of the mountain gate is a quadrangle with a hatchback in the front hall. The main hall is a resplendent "Hall of Great Heroes", with a golden statue of Sakyamuni in the center and eighteen shining arhats on both sides. To the south of the main hall is a courtyard, which is connected on three sides by cloisters for tourists to rest and drink tea. There are two big Jingui trees in the yard. There are two vertical steles on the stone platform behind the main hall, engraved with poems by Zhu De and Dong about Guizhou Lingshan, and there are many stone tablets. On the left side of the main building of the central axis, there are buildings such as "Quchi Pavilion" corridor and Moon Pool. On the right side of the mountain gate near the north platform, there is a big bronze bell cast in the fifth year of Ming Chenghua in 2469 AD.
