Sanguantang was built in 1662, the first year of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty. It was originally a place for Taoist activities. Later, the hospitalized Taoist gradually left the temple, and the incense was not prosperous. In 1888, it became a Buddhist temple.

In the early 1960s, there were still five permanent monks and nuns, and the late master Xingci of fazang Temple once zhuoxi once lived in this temple.

In 1989, the state implemented the religious policy and set up a temple restoration preparatory group headed by Shi Tonglin, which was funded by the Shanghai Buddhist Association and donated by Buddhist believers and all walks of life.

He served as the leader of the preparatory group, the leader of the management group and the abbot. After June 1999, Sanguantang was approved and registered as a bhiksuni monastery. Master Shi Tonglin passed away on February 9, 2004.
