Ruins of Shuangfeng Temple — Located at the foot of Shuangfeng Mountain to the west of the county town, this temple was founded by Master Guangwu during the Tianping Xingguo era (976–984) of the Northern Song Dynasty and was bestowed the official name “Shuangfeng Mountain Xingfu Temple.” Its reputation was second only to that of Yunmen Temple. The temple underwent two reconstructions, one in the second year of the Yuanyou era (1087) of the Northern Song Dynasty and another in the fifth year of the Chenghua era (1469) of the Ming Dynasty, and was repaired several times in the first year of the Zhengde era (1506), the 22nd year of the Jiajing era (1543) of the Ming Dynasty, and the 22nd year of the Kangxi era (1683) of the Qing Dynasty. By the time of the Republic of China, Shuangfeng Temple was in a state of disrepair, with no further restoration of the Buddha statues, and the temple buildings gradually collapsed. It has now become an orange orchard.
