On the characteristics of Lingshan Temple in Mianning in a few words

Mianning Lingshan is centered on Lingshan Temple, with a planned protection area of 4 square kilometers. Lingshan Temple was built in Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty, and it is the largest religious temple in Mianning County. The main building, Daxiong Hall, is spacious and grand, with solemn structure. The front hall is dedicated to Sakyamuni, with eighteen arhats on both sides, and the back hall is dedicated to the woodcut idol of Yang Xuexin, the founder of Lingshan Temple. Facing the giant Buddha, there is a sitting statue of the protector of Wei Tuo. It is said that all Wei Tuo in the world is in a standing position, and only Wei Tuo of Lingshan Temple is seated, because Lingshan Temple was originally clean, and Wei Tuo stood up to protect the law without bothering him. In the middle of the front of the temple is the newly built glazed tile mountain gate, centered on the courtyard of the main hall, with many houses and halls on both sides, which are connected vertically and horizontally, forming an ancient architectural complex. There are six towering Gu Song trees outside the mountain gate, with three or four people hugging each other, which are at least 2 years old. It is the most important symbol of Lingshan Temple.
