It is said that master Puxian got his way here. The scenic spot has magnificent "four wonders and eight sceneries" (four wonders are sunrise, Buddha light, sea of clouds and holy lamp, eight sceneries are Huaying snow, Baoding Lianyun, Sanhua Yishu, Jiuzi Lingquan, Qujiang luozhao, Shijing Xiyang, Huayan ancient cave and Yubi floating light). Up to now, it still attracts hundreds of thousands of Buddhists to worship every year. In the second year of Zhide in the Tang Dynasty (757), the villagers donated money to build "Ruifeng Temple", and in the 28th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1549), it was renamed "Guangming Temple". In 1761, 38 temples were built. Every year on February 19, June 19 and September 19 of the lunar calendar (it is said that Bodhisattva was born, became a monk and became a Taoist), tens of thousands of pilgrims come to worship Buddha in the mountains carrying incense and dancing Yuntong dance. Most of the temples were destroyed in the cultural revolution.
