Wanfo Temple, originally known as Qishan Shisong Temple, was built in the third year of Dazhong Xiangfu of the Song Dynasty (1010 AD) and was originally named Lingfeng Temple. In the tenth year of Shaoxing (1140 AD), the monk Tianshi planted a dragon claw pine next to the temple, and it was renamed Shisong Temple. After two constructions during the Ming Chenghua and Wanli years, it was quite large and was once one of the Buddhist holy places in Fuzhou. In 1999, the government approved the reconstruction of Shisong Temple and renamed it Qishan Wanfo Temple.
