Lingyan Mountain has been known as a famous mountain in the local area since ancient times. Lingyan Mountain has towering rock ridges and layers, and is rich in forests and grass. It is named because there are often auspicious signs on the rocks. There are many scenic spots on Lingyan Mountain, including Lingyan Temple, Wenfeng Tower, Yanyue Rock, Millstone Stone, Agate Gully and so on. The main scenic spot, Lingyan Zen Temple, was built in the Xiantong period of the Tang Dynasty. After being newly built in 2002, it was restored. There are main buildings such as mountain gate temple, Mahavira Hall, Guanyin Pavilion, bell tower and drum tower. The temple is built against the mountain and presents a garden landscape layout. The environment is quiet and elegant. Agate Gully located in the southwest of Lingyan Zen Temple has been famous since ancient times for producing the ‘unique in China’ Yuhua agate stone. It is an earlier and more authentic production area of Yuhua stones. Looking for Yuhua stones in the Agate Gully of Lingyan Mountain, recognizing pearls with discerning eyes and obtaining them by chance is one of the great pleasures in life. Open all year round and open all day.
