What travelers say:

Lunch time went to Lingshan Temple near the factory, Lingshan Temple is "Lingshan Temple" for the locals! For me, Lingshan Temple is a 1200-year-old monastery. Lingshan Temple, also known as Lingshan Huguo Temple, was founded in Zhenyuan 7 (791) by Tang Dynasty monk Dadan Master, and later gave the name "Lingshan Huguo Temple". The Dadan Zushi Tower built in Tang Changqing four years (824) in the backyard is a key cultural relics protection unit in the country. Tang Dadan ancestral tower, not called "tongue mirror tower", is the oldest and most complete tomb tower in Chaoshan area. It is the tomb of the Kaishan ancestor of Lingshan Temple and the ninth ancestor of the Central Plains Zen Zen Master, and is a rare bell-shaped pagoda in the Tang Dynasty. The architectural form is modeled on the "Zaidubo" of ancient India. The intersection of Dabang Zen Master and Han Wengong (Han Yu, the famous anti-Buddhist and Buddhist text "On the Bone Table") has a variety of legends in Chaoshan District. The Yiting Pavilion in front of Lingshan Temple is the place where Han Yu left Chaoshan and took off his official clothes. Before entering the gate of the monastery, I heard the sound of chanting. The aunts on the side of the gate came in and out with various supplies. I only knew that the monastery was on the land and water road. There was lively to see. I was very happy. I walked around. The masters opened several legal altars to sing. The aunts were busy with the offerings and no one paid attention to me. I also enjoyed going around and looking at the stone monuments and the ancient towers. Someone came to worship and saw the Hong's Ancestral Temple, which was donated to the temple, and the glazed tiles were full of carved stone pillars, wood carving gold paint N-layer god position... Chaoshan architecture, embedded porcelain, The carved flowers reflect the blue sky ancient trees, and the people sing the scriptures and lively, which is the taste of the tide.
