Ganlu Temple

The temple features four levels of an iron pagoda, multiple halls, and pavilions arranged across 3,500 square meters of mountainous terrain.

Originally constructed in 256 during the Eastern Wu period, the temple's iron pagoda was built in 825 by Li Deyu and relocated to its current location in 1078.

The 1960 restoration revealed a rectangular box containing over 700 Śarīras, including eleven attributed to Sakyamuni, emphasizing the temple's religious significance.

Visitors need to enter through small side doors to access the Main Hall, as the front gate connects directly to the back wall.

The temple's architectural layout follows the mountain's natural topography, incorporating three residential buildings and ceremonial halls into the landscape.
