After 1912, the temple was destroyed and became a piece of rubble. After 1949, there was only a mound about 4 meters above the ground at the base of the temple. There is an ancient well about 100 meters in the south of Gangzi. The edge of the ancient well is made of bluestone. As a result of long-term water lifting, countless traces have been left on the bluestone due to the grinding of the well rope. The lower part of the ancient well is made of Ming Dynasty bricks.
