Located within the compound at No. 17 Qixiu Road, Nantong City. In historical records such as the Tongzhou Annals from various dynasties, Taiping Xingguo Temple is referred to as [translation retained], commonly known as the East Temple. A stone inscription from the ninth year of the Daoguang reign during the Qing Dynasty (1829) within the temple refers to it as Taiping Xingguo Temple. The temple was originally built during the Qiandao era of the Southern Song Dynasty (1165–1173). According to records, the main hall was destroyed by flooding in the fourteenth year of the Zhiyuan reign of the Yuan Dynasty (1354), and was rebuilt in the fourteenth year of the Hongwu reign of the Ming Dynasty (1381), then renovated again during the Daoguang reign of the Qing Dynasty. Historical accounts indicate that the temple originally included structures such as the Vajra Hall, Kṣitigarbha Hall, and the Hall of Imperial Worship, but today only the main hall remains. The main hall features a wooden structure with a double-eaved hip-and-gable roof, measuring three bays in both width and depth, with a nearly square floor plan. The four central columns of the main bay are supported by shallow-carved, inverted-basin-style bases, while the rear two central columns are melon-ribbed. The roof truss has a gentle slope, and the outer eaves feature bracket sets with complex details, connected in layers and adorned with ancient carvings, giving the traditional doors and windows a quaint appearance.

Xiguan Village is located 1,500 meters south of Tianzhu Peak. It consists of stone steps, battlements, and stone walls. The left side follows a cliffside path along the mountain, a narrow trail like a black thread, while the right side is a valley merging into a stream — "a single brave man could hold the pass against ten thousand, an extraordinarily perilous yet secure stronghold." At the end of the Song Dynasty, peasant rebel leader Liu Yuan was ordered to raise an army at Dahutian by the valley entrance to resist the Yuan Dynasty. He established this strategic stronghold here to defend his homeland, holding out against the Yuan forces for over a decade. Stone inscriptions recording Liu Yuan’s defense efforts can still be clearly seen on the cave walls inside the village, and the site has been listed as a key cultural relic protection unit of Anhui Province. In the fifth year of the Shunzhi era during the Qing Dynasty (1648), Ming Dynasty’s Ministry of War official Zhou Sun and his nephew Yu Yi occupied Xiguan Village. Qing general Liang Dayong led troops to suppress them, and the following year the stronghold fell after a defeat. Xiguan Village has since been restored and now serves as a key passage for visitors climbing to the main peak.
