Fahuayuan in Chishan Scenic Area is the oldest Buddhist holy place in Jiaodong. The Fahua Institute was founded in the third year of Tang Muzong (823 years) and has a long history of 1196 years. The person who built the Fahua Institute, called Zhang Baozhen, was the Silla people at that time, that is, the Koreans today. Zhang Baozhen is also a legendary figure. He was enlisted in the second year of Tang Xianzong (807) because he was promoted to Wu Ning military and junior general. In the Tang Dynasty, there were many Silla people living in some villages in Weihai, and almost everyone believed in Buddhism. In order to give the hometown people a spiritual sustenance, Zhang Baozheng asked the imperial court to set up a temple in Chishan, and because the first group of monks who came to the chanting was built by the Tiantai sect, and read the "Fahua Sutra", the hospital was named "Chishan Law". Huayuan". Fahuayuan is located in the south of Chishan Mountain. During the heyday, there were more than 30 monks living here. The number of people who listened to it often reached more than 200 people. Later, the Japanese Yuanren Master went to Tang to seek law. In the crisis, he had lived in the Chishan Fahua Institute for three years and nine months. The Fahuayuan became a place of cultural exchange between China, Japan and Korea during the Tang Dynasty. However, the time spent by Fahuayuan did not last long. When it came to Tang Wuzong, the country destroyed the Buddha and the Fahua Institute was destroyed. The Fahuayuan, which is now seen, was rebuilt on the site of the Fahua Institute in 1988. The reconstructed Fahuayuan, which is a replica of the Tang Dynasty architecture, is basically consistent with the description of the Yuan Ren Master's "Into the Tang Dynasty" and continues to be the link between China, Japan and Korea.
