Blue sandalwood has little nectar, but Xuanbutterfly is in a single shape. Mr. Min Yinnan, a famous painter and calligrapher, inscribed the Ginkgo Tree of Qingdang Temple: Ginkgo biloba in the temple, which was passed down to Xiao Tiaozhi. Shy at first, but foolish today. Is it unjust to be a lover forever? Whether the world can compare or not is always a touching poem.

Architectural features

Blue sandalwood autumn scenery

The "autumn color" portal of Qingtan Temple is an archaic building with three doors, four columns and two vertical eaves and bucket arches, and a mixture of wood structure and reinforced concrete structure. Above the door, a black marble inlaid plaque with the four words "autumn color of green sandalwood" is written by Liu Yifu, Vice Governor of Zhejiang Province.

Menfang is a narrow valley about 1.5 kilometers long, covered with Green Sandalwood trees. There are 36 trees over a thousand years old and countless trees over a hundred years old. At the end of the narrow valley is the Qingdao Temple.

The three words "Qingdan Temple" on the mountainous plaque of Qingdan Temple are written by Shu Tong, a calligrapher. The monastery covers an area of 1050 square meters and a building area of 330 square meters. The main building is the five halls of Daxiong, with eaves and arches, in which Buddha III is worshipped. There are three rooms in the West and a pavilion in the east. There is a ginkgo tree in the front yard of the palace. It is over a thousand years old and has strong leaves up to now. Mr. Min Yinnan's "Ginkgo Tree inscribed on the Qingdang Temple" is located under the tree. In front of the temple there is "Runtangtang Well". During the drought years, the water flows continuously. During the rainy season, the water will gush out from the wellhead like a fountain, which is very shocking. On the Dongshan cliff beside the pavilion, the inscription of Wenfeng Shanren on the cliff stone inscription "Forget to Return" means that tourists who come here are so beautiful that they forget to go home.

It is said that Yuefei, the national anti-gold hero of the Song Dynasty, suffered from eye diseases due to accumulated internal and external troubles. At that time, the abbot of the temple, Huicong, washed Yuefei's eyes with the tender leaves of the Qingdan Temple every day. Because the leaves of the almond tree had the effect of clearing fire and brightening eyes, Yuefei's eyes were soon after. He was able to recover and return to the battlefield to kill the enemy. In the Song Dynasty, a stone building was built to commemorate the building, but it was destroyed during the "Cultural Revolution". The government rebuilt the building in 1985. The building area is 112 square meters. It retains the thin gold body "Jinjie" stone tablet on the plaque of the original building. There are statues of Yue Fei sitting in the building.
