This famous temple consists of two parts: the old Temple in the
west courtyard and the New Temple in the east courtyard. The former
was built in l669 during the Qing Dynasty and the latter was built
in l940.
In the New Temple are a series of halls, such as the Heavenly King'S
Hall, the Great Buddha's Hall, the Lecture Hall and the memorial
hall of a Tang-dynasty monk, Xuan Zhuang. Housed in the old Temple
are several hundreds of Buddhist statutes. These state treasures,
made of bronze, iron, stone or wood, are from various dynasties.
