Located in Fuxing Village, Emei Township, Fuxinglongsheng Temple, which enshrines Lord Guan, is a long-standing and popular center of faith in the local area. The temple's establishment can be traced back to the Qing Dynasty, during the Daoguang era (around 1840 AD). Legend has it that Qing Shengsheng, a settler at the time, brought a spiritual talisman of Lord Guan from the Guansheng Temple in Yuquan Mountain on the mainland and enshrined it in a stockade to ensure smooth land reclamation. Later, there was a legend that Lord Guan manifested himself to drive away indigenous people who raided at night, protecting the villagers' safety, thus earning deep respect from the villagers, who then built a temple to worship him. Longsheng Temple has undergone several renovations and reconstructions. The temple was damaged by the great earthquake in the 10th year of the Showa era (1935) and was restored in the 36th year of the Republic of China (1947). In the 49th year of the Republic of China (1960), believers felt the temple site was too low, so a rear hall and east and west corridors were added, and the central hall's golden statue was re-sculpted. In the 86th year of the Republic of China (1997), due to the expansion of Provincial Highway 3 and the aging of the temple, reconstruction began again, and the "entering the fire and settling the statue" ceremony was completed in the 88th year of the Republic of China (1999). Although the original building is no longer visible, Longsheng Temple still preserves some ancient artifacts. These artifacts are now displayed in the square in front of the temple and the nearby Fuxing Old Tea Factory, showcasing the beauty of craftsmanship at the time and offering travelers who love history and culture an experience that transcends time.
