In 1681 during the Qing dynasty (1644-1911), the governor of Chizhou, Yu Chenglong (), renovated the temple and built Juhua Pavilion. The temple comprised Eastern and Western Palaces and totaled 72 halls. Thus, Huacheng Temple became the leading temple in Mount Jiuhua, called General Buddhist Temple. From 1703-1705, the Kangxi Emperor ordered his close servant to come to Mount Jiuhua to worship the temple three times, making donations and bestowing a board Superior Place of Jiuhua (). In 1766, it received another board written by the emperor, Fragrant Grand Temple (). However, in 1857, the temple was destroyed, and only Sutra Library was left. In 1890, the abbot Lunfa () and pilgrim Liu Hanfang () and others donated to rebuild four halls.
