The massive and spectacular Lingyin Temple (Temple of the Soul's Retreat) was initially built in 326. It is one of the ten most celebrated Buddhist monasteries in China. The statue of Sakyamuni carved from camphor wood and gilded with gold inside the Grand Hall of the temple is considered a masterpiece.

Opposite the temple stands the Feilai Peak, which can be scaled by cable car. At 548 feet (167 meters), it is marked by a multitude of rocks and limestone caves with some 380 stone sculptures. Most of them date back to the 10th and 11th centuries and are now under the protection of the state government.
