  The Lingshan Temple in the scenic spot is a unique and rare architectural complex of ancient temples in the north of China. It is a provincial conservation unit of cultural relics. The temple began to be built in 1738 (the 3rd year of the reign of Qianlong Emperor). Then it was rebuilt in 1806 (in the 11th year of the reign of Jiaqing Emperor) and was expanded in the early years of the Republic of China. The temple consists of three complexes of courtyard buildings. The layout of the pavilions and buildings of Lingshan Temple is ingenious and the halls and bridges are strewn at random. It has great historical and cultural value in studying the layout and form of religious buildings in the middle and late Qing Dynasty.
