Guan'ao is an important harbor on the northern shore of Kinmen. Due to special circumstances in the area throughout the years, Guan'ao's Longfeng Temple also enshrines deities from many other temples, including Tianfei Temple, Fengshan Temple, and Chicheng Temple. Though the exact year of its construction is lost to time, it is estimated that Longfeng Temple was established in the Ming era. An important local center of faith, Longfeng Temple is described by the local saying ""temple of Guan'ao, ancestral home on a green island"". The ceremonies performed at Longfeng Temple have a history of over 300 years. The temple bears witness to the development of early settlements in Kinmen and the rise of the area's shipping industry. The temple's lavish traditional Hokkien architecture made it the grandest temple in the area in the past. It was also the only temple in Kinmen to have a stage for theatrical performances. The menshen (threshold guardians) painted on the doors are magnificent yet solemn. One of the most notable features of the temple are its black-and-white ink wash murals, which were hand-painted by Lin Tien-chu (1914-1998 CE) using a sorghum brush.
