Longquan Temple (Chaotian Cave) is located on Xuefeng Mountain in Xikou, Xuanzhou District. It is commonly known as Chaotian Cave (because the temple is built in a cave and the entrance of the cave faces the sky, hence the name). Longquan Temple was built in the late Ming Dynasty. It has a wooden structure, brick walls and tile roof, with four floors. It has several stone carvings and a thousand-jin copper bell cast in the Ming Dynasty.

In 1984, Longquan Temple was approved by the Anhui Provincial Religious Department and opened as a site for religious activities. It was also listed as a provincial key temple and a provincial cultural relic protection unit.
