History

The temple was first established in the reign of Yingzong of the Northern Song dynasty (9601127). In late Yuan dynasty (12711368), Zhang Shicheng used the temple as his Xinggong (Chinese: 行宫; lit. 'imperial palace for short stays away from the capital'). It has been burned down and rebuilt several times, due wars and natural disasters. The current temple was rebuilt in 2003.[2]

Architecture

The statues of Three Pure Ones are enshrined in the main hall of the temple.[2]
