Twin Pagoda Temple

The temple features two octagonal pagodas with emerald green glazed eaves, standing at heights of 54.78 meters and 53.3 meters respectively.

The construction of the temple's pagodas took place during the Ming Dynasty, with the East pagoda completed in 1597 and the West pagoda following in 1612.

The temple grounds contain 260 stone steles relocated from various defunct temples, preserving important historical inscriptions and Buddhist teachings.

The temple complex requires regular structural maintenance to protect its ancient architecture, particularly focusing on the stability of both pagodas.

Three copper magic gourds sit atop the East pagoda, while the temple grounds include a peony tree dating back to the Ming Dynasty period.
