Historical evolution of Xianghai Temple
Historically, Xianghai was the territory of Khatuketu, the sovereign state of Mongolia, where Mongolians gathered. Mongolian people traditionally believe in Tibetan Buddhism. In the sixth year of Qing Shunzhi, a temple with blue bricks and gray tiles was built in the beautiful west Tadianzi of Xianghai Lake, which was called "Qinghai Temple". At that time, there were seven lamas in the temple Soon after the temple was built, it was destroyed by the flood. The rebuilt temple covers an area of 99 mu, the wall is six feet high and there are bells and drums on both sides of the courtyard door. There are seven big elms in the courtyard, which are still flourishing today. * * * Three-story hall height12m. Its main body is blue bricks and gray tiles, with red as the keynote and yellow, blue and white. It is solemn and simple, and its construction technology and carving level are similar to those of Yonghe Palace in Beijing.

1772, Qianlong took 34 people, including He and Liu Yong, to Changbai Mountain to explore their ancestors and find their roots, and went to the sea to stay in Qinghai Temple. Seeing that the word "Qing" in Qinghai Temple was three points less than that in the Great Qing Dynasty, Qianlong called the abbot, renamed the temple Fuxing Temple, wrote a plaque and left "Flying clouds and dancing cranes, the Wizard of Oz". Inscription on the revival of the holy land, Ruigu Xiangzhong ". There are no rocks in the local area, so they are carved with wood instead of stones. Because the wooden tablet can't stand the wind and rain, and the Great Wall of Guandong is vast and sparsely populated, few people know the inscription. Now the wooden tablet has disappeared, and there is only this record in the Fuxing Hall of Yonghe Palace in Beijing.

During the Cultural Revolution, the first floor of this temple named Xianghai Temple was converted into the business office of the commune supply and marketing cooperative, and the second and third floors were used as offices and warehouses. 1972, the temple was completely demolished, the commune office and the supply and marketing cooperative business office were built with bricks, wood and stone, and Xianghai Temple no longer existed.

After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, Xianghai Temple was rebuilt and renamed Xianghai Temple. In order to meet the requirements of Han and Mongolian believers, Xianghai Temple takes into account the styles of Tibetan Buddhism and Han Buddhism in its architectural style. The newly-built Xianghai Temple is a building facing south, with three gates standing side by side, symbolizing the three liberation doors of Buddhism. There are five halls in the courtyard, such as Thousand Buddhas Hall, Tianwang Hall, Guanyin Hall, Mahayana Mahayana Hall and Three Halls. About 50 meters behind the Ursa Major Hall, stands a 6.9-meter-high statue of Amitabha.
