Fulong Temple (伏龙观) in Dujiangyan is highly praised by visitors for its rich historical atmosphere and connection to the legendary governor Li Bing. Reviewers are particularly fascinated by the local lore, which claims Li Bing imprisoned an evil dragon in the pool beneath the temple. A standout feature mentioned by many is the ancient statue of Li Bing, which dates back nearly two millennia. While the climb of 40 stone steps may be a deterrent for some, most find the historical significance and the views of the Minjiang River well worth the effort. Some visitors advise caution with navigation, noting that the temple is located within Lidui Park rather than Yuleishan Park as some maps suggest. Overall, it is considered a meaningful and scenic stop for anyone exploring the Dujiangyan irrigation area.
