Benefiting from the country’s Reform and Opening Up policy, Zhouzhuang began to explore the tourism business. It constructed Nanhu Park, backed with historical figures and humanistic landscapes of the town.

On March 18, 1995, the main body of the temple was put under construction. Quanfu Temple is about one tenth of the Nanhu Park. After 300 days of busy construction, the temple was completed into a well balanced structure, looking exactly like a Buddhist Kingdom by the river.
