Near the bronze bell, several key heritage sites await exploration. The Great Buddha Hall, rebuilt during the Southern Song Dynasty, features intricate wooden carvings and yellow glazed tiles, showcasing imperial architectural craftsmanship.
The Sutra Pavilion houses rare Ming Dynasty editions of the Dazangjing (Great Buddhist Canon) and hosts rotating exhibitions on Chan Buddhism history—ideal for scholarly visitors.
To the west lies Fayu Spring, a famed Tang-era well said to have been used by monks for washing brushes. Its clear, sweet water remains drinkable today.
Also notable is the Jingshan Stele Grove, housing over 100 inscribed stones from different dynasties, including poems, imperial edicts, and temple records. Among them, Su Shi’s calligraphy stands out as a national treasure.
All sites are within the temple complex, easily accessible on foot. For deeper insight, consider renting a guided audio tour or hiring a professional docent to uncover the temple’s 1,000-year legacy in Chinese Chan Buddhism.
