Historically, Baihe Temple, also known as Chengzhao Temple, was located at the foot of Baihe Peak in Yangshan. Initially constructed during the Huichang era of the Tang Dynasty, it was established when a family with the surname Ding donated their residence in Baimajian, which is said to be the former residence of the immortal Ding Lingwei, who was believed to have transformed into a crane and flown away. During the establishment of the Wu Yue kingdom by the Qian family in the Five Dynasties, a spring emerged from within the temple, leading to the temple being renamed as Xianquan Temple. At that time, there was a separate courtyard within the temple, which was also known as the Bai Lian Chan Court due to the hundreds of white lotus flowers that grew in the garden pond. Historical records from ‘Yangshan Chronicles’ state that Chengzhao Temple, located at the foot of Baihe Peak and also known as Baihe Temple, had two courtyards: one called Xianquan and the other Bai Lian. In the Huichang period of the Tang Dynasty, someone from the Ding family donated their residence to establish the temple, which is traditionally considered to be the former residence of Ding Lingwei. ‘Hu Shuguan Chronicles’ mention that Chengzhao Temple, located east of Baihe Peak in Yangshan, was initially built by the donation of a residence in Baimajian by the Ding family during the Huichang period of the Tang Dynasty, and later rebuilt on the foundation of Cao Xuanzu’s temple by the monk Zhiyi from Longxing Temple. ‘Fengqiao Town Chronicles’ describe the City God Temple of Gao Jing Mountain, located on the top of Xie Yan Ridge, between Dayu Mountain and Gao Jing Mountain, but the exact year of its construction is unknown… The City God Temple of Gao Jing Mountain was demolished in the late 1950s to the 1960s, and due to stone mining, even the foundation of the temple was removed. In the 1980s, local worshippers arbitrarily built a simple temple house on the northeastern slope of the mountain… By the year 2000, six temple houses were rebuilt to accommodate worshippers.
