  Faqi Temple in Sucheng is a temple in the Han Dynasty. It is one of the early temples in China. It has been listed as one of the "Four Famous Spirits in China" since ancient times. There are 166 green peaks and ridges lined up around the mountain. There are many temples in the mountains, and the Buddha lamp has been through thousands of years. Constantly, it is known as "the first jungle in Huaihai." One of the reasons why Faqi Temple has become a famous Buddhist temple is that the authentic inheritance system of Caodong Buddhism was established as early as the Song and Yuan dynasties. Cao Dongzong is one of the five sects of Zen, which emphasizes "Buddha in nature". In the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, the Caodong Dharma lineage had been passed down to the 35th generation in Faqi Temple. Faqi Temple is an important testimony of China's Maritime Silk Road. The protection and research of Faqi Temple site is of great significance to the study of the origin and development of the city's Maritime Silk Road.
