Dabei Temple (Temple of Great Mercy)
Built before 1033 and with three courtyards, the Dabei Temple sits on a mountain slope that faces east. Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1644 - 1911) wrote an inscription over the entrance door, through which stand four heavenly kings. In front of the Daxiong Hall, green bamboos planted during the Ming Dynasty (1368 - 1644) still thrive.

Dragon Spring Nunnery
Lying to the northwest of the Dabei Temple, this nunnery is also known as the Dragon Hall. It was built in 1425 and has five courtyards which are home to tall pines and cypresses which provide pleasant shade during the summer. Entrance to the nunnery is through a small door which leads visitors to spring water which flows through a dragon's mouth into a pond. The nunnery's Tingquan Pavilion serves tea.
