Sakyamuni Stupa at Jinchan Temple on Sanzong Mountain 　　Located 25 kilometers northwest of Tunliu County, the name "Sanzong" originally refers to the gathering of three peaks. The three peaks here are named Lín Mountain, Líng Mountain, and Xúlíng Mountain. Among them, Lín Mountain is the main peak situated to the east and is the foremost among the clustered ridges and peaks, hence Sanzong Mountain is also called Lín Mountain. Due to the legend of Houyi shooting down nine suns, since the Tang Dynasty, temples have been built on the mountain, including the Grand Temple of Sanzong, Xianshi Temple, Jinchan Temple, Tangwang Temple, Xishen Temple, Guan Di Temple, Black Tiger God Temple, and Jinchan Temple, among others. The local people commonly refer to all the deities as "Lǎoyé" (a respectful term for gods). With so many temples and deities on Sanzong Mountain, it has been popularly known as "Lǎoyé Mountain."
