Check in at the ancient building with Black Goku~Xiaoxitian.

It was built in the 7th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty (1634) and was presided over by the Dongming Zen master. It covers an area of only more than 1,100 square meters. It is located in the west and faces the east. It is built on the Phoenix Mountain and is surrounded by mountains on three sides. The buildings are scattered on the top of the mountain. Due to the limitation of the terrain and the implication of the Western Paradise, the main buildings are placed on the east-west axis. The temple is naturally divided into three courtyards: upper, lower, and front. There are 20 buildings of different sizes, heights, and symmetries in the limited space, and the cave is used as a door to connect the three building groups. The Ming Dynasty colored hanging sculptures in the temple are famous and are known as the Chinese Hanging Sculpture Art Museum and the "Hanging Sculpture Finale" in the history of Chinese sculpture art.
