It was founded in Ming Dynasty(1439) and has a history of more than 500 years. There are complete giant murals of the Ming Dynasty in Daxiong Hall in the temple, covering an area of 236.7 square meters, which are painted with Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, twenty Buddhist immortals, flying fairies, animals and flowers, landscapes and auspicious clouds, etc. Fahai Temple frescoes, made by court painters, are the best frescoes in the Ming Dynasty in China, whose exquisiteness and artistic value are comparable to those of the Renaissance in Europe.
