Guanyin Temple is located on the mountainside at the west foot of Donglu Mountain, about 1 kilometers east of Lishui County, the birthplace of Baili Qinhuai. The temple was built in the Yuan Dynasty, originally named "Guanyin Temple at the west foot of the East Lushan Mountain", with a history of more than 7 years. During the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Guanyin Temple was destroyed; In the 8th year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (1882), it was rebuilt as the Ermao Palace of Taoism, which was as famous as damao mountain in Jurong and Xiaomaoshan in Lishui, but unfortunately it was destroyed during the Cultural Revolution in 196s. In 1999, the Guanyin Temple in Longgang, the county seat, was demolished due to urban construction, and was rebuilt in the original site of Guanyin Temple in Donglu Mountain, renamed Guanyin Temple. In 2, Kannonji in the East Lushan Mountain became the lower house of Jiming Temple, which was approved by the provincial and Nanjing municipal governments as a key temple.

The original name of East Lushan Mountain is Lushan Mountain. It is said that Yan Ziling, a famous doctor in Huiji, was once a hermit in the first year of Jianwu in the Eastern Han Dynasty. After that, the mountain is in the east of the county seat, also known as Donglu Mountain.

The main peak Lufeng is 289 meters above sea level. Guanyin Temple is at this peak.

The hills and mountains of the East Lushan Mountain are overlapping, with steep terrain, beautiful landscapes and verdant trees. According to legend, in 528 A.D., when Liang Wudi was in the Southern Dynasty, a mage named Honghe set up a Dojo in Donglu Mountain to preach-and monks from all directions flocked to it. By the Yuan Dynasty, temples on various peaks had been considerable. In addition to Guanyin Temple, there are other famous temples, such as Jiuyi Yangsheng Palace, Shouguo Temple, Longwang Temple, Chating Temple, etc. The incense is quite strong; Especially in the Yuan Dynasty, Shouguo Temple was a grand and prosperous place.
