As the capital of the early Ming Dynasty, Nanjing has preserved many historical sites. Among them, the most intensive tourist attraction is the Zhongshan Scenic Area, which includes the Ming Dynasty Xiaoling, a world cultural heritage, the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, a national 5A-level scenic spot, as well as Linggu Temple, Meiling Palace, Meihua Mountain and many other special attractions. Linggu Temple is the most famous temple in Nanjing, and the Ming Dynasty was more than 600 years ago. Linggu Temple has a long history. It existed in the Southern Dynasty during Emperor Wu of the Liang Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, it was sealed by Zhu Yuanzhang as the "first Zen forest in the world", juxtaposed with the Dabaoen Temple and Tianjie Temple. Compared with Ming Xiaoling and Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, Linggu Temple should be much cleaner. The old trees here are towering and the scenery is beautiful. Linggu Temple Xuanzang Memorial Hall is dedicated to the statue of Xuan Zang Master, like the Xuanzang Master's top bone memorial tower in front of the Xuanzang top bone relic. Linggu Temple is where Fengshui Treasures, this land was spotted by Zhu Yuanzhang, used to build his own mausoleum, that is, Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, so Linggu Temple was forced in the 14th year of Hongwu (1381) Move to the current location and rebuild from a different location. The temple is located in the mountain valley, named Linggu Temple. The beamless temple is the only remaining Ming Dynasty building in Linggu Temple, and it is also a must-see for the Linggu Temple. Because this temple is a masonry arch structure, it does not need beam wood, so it is commonly known as "no beam temple."
