There was a spring next to the temple, which would never be exhausted in winter and summer. There was a strange stone called "Breathing Stone" in the temple. When Master Shaokang built the Taoist temple here, he carved a stone statue of "Amitabha Buddha" from a "Breathing Stone" that was different from the surrounding rocks. This stone statue was regarded as the treasure of the temple. Now there are the Great Buddha Hall, Free Life Pond, Heavenly King Hall, Amitabha Hall, Guanyin Pavilion and so on.
