Shoushou Temple is a cultural tourism attraction.

Shoushou Temple is located in Sanmaying Village, Dongzhai Town, Ningwu County. It faces south and measures 9.15 meters from east to west and 6 meters from north to south, with a construction area of approximately 55 square meters. The temple was originally built during the Sui Dynasty, while the existing structures date back to the Qing Dynasty. The existing Hall of Heavenly Kings (Mountain Gate) of Shoushou Temple has three bays in width and four rafters in depth, with a flush gable roof and decorative bracket sets under the eaves.

According to the newly compiled Ningwu County Annals, it was originally said to be the summer retreat of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. It was renamed Shoushou Temple during the Tianhui era of the Jin Dynasty. Repairs were carried out during the Chenghua and Chongzhen eras of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the Guangxu era of the Qing Dynasty. One stele from the Guangxu era of the Qing Dynasty still exists. Shoushou Temple is currently occupied by Sanmaying Primary School. (Excerpt from Xinzhou Cultural Relics Collection)
