Wansong Chan Temple. According to the county chronicles, "Wansong Hermitage" was located in the northeast of the county, surrounded by ancient green pines, hence the name. It was built during the Hongwu era. Yet, time has marched on, and the site has undergone several rises and declines. In the year 2001, Master Xinguan, together with devoted followers, made great efforts to restore the temple, enshrining a sacred statue of Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva, and gradually establishing a well-formed monastic complex. It was then renamed Wansong Chan Temple. In 2009, to accommodate the government's circular industrial development plan, the temple was relocated to the back of the thousand-year-old cypress tree on the eastern side of Phoenix Mountain.
