Qinshan ancient temple
Qinshan Mountain, lying 15 miles west of Li County, is connected with Pengshan Mountain. Qinshan Temple, an ancient temple famous for thousands of years, is majestic and widely reputed.
Qinshan Temple is now different from the original one. There is a 2500-year-old arhat pine in the west of Dacheng Hall. It is said that Li Guang, a famous general in the Han Dynasty, once tied his horse to this tree. Researchers pointed out that the predecessor of Qinshan Temple was actually built in the Han Dynasty, while the present Qinshan Temple, as a Buddhist temple, was probably rebuilt by a monk in the Tang Dynasty.
