Originally constructed in the Tang Dynasty, the structure has seen several revisions and other modifications and was eventually rebuilt during the Qinq Dynasty. The temple has the word south in its name due to the fact that it is located in the South of Putuo Mountain which is one of China’s four largest Buddhist mountains.
Situated at the foot of Putuo Mountain, all subsequent structures that are located here are constructed higher and high up the mountain elevation. The main buildings that are located here are the Heavenly King Hall, Main Hall, Bell and Drum Towers as well as Hall of Great Compassion and Sutra Hall.
Structures here all feature a very distinctive Chinese style that is apparent from first setting eyes on the temple. Highlights that can be seen here include the Thousand Hand Kwan-Yin, the Free Life Pond and the Seven Buddha Tower.
On one side of the temple is the South Fujian Buddhist Academy that serves to educate and train individuals in Buddhist practices. It has through its efforts gained a reputation as excelling at this task both at home and abroad.
