When I first came to the centering stone halfway up the mountain, I saw the tall pines in this area, the deep blue sky covering the sky, the view of Dragon Waterfall Tianchi in the east, and the joy of dawn mist in Guishan Mountain in the west. I thought this place was very suitable for building. A big temple. On my second visit, I heard that Zen monk Dong An, the master of Crouching Tiger Cave, was willing to build a temple in accordance with this wish. He personally went to Crouching Tiger Cave to visit Dong'an and encouraged him to build a temple. Oddly enough, on the morning of the groundbreaking day, nectar fell from the sky.

Five Hundred Arhats Hall: Complementing the Centennial Palace is the newly built Five Hundred Arhats Hall. The Five Hundred Arhat Hall has a total construction area of ??more than 1,000 square meters. It is a palace-like structure that coordinates with the Centennial Palace to form a castle-like building complex built on a cliff. The Hall of Five Hundred Arhats is dedicated to five hundred Arhats. The whole hall is full of shapes and has a magnificent momentum. The Five Hundred Arhats Hall in the Centenary Palace is currently the only one in the four major Buddhist mountains in my country. Its construction has added a unique new landscape to Jiuhua Mountain.

Huiju Temple: formerly known as "Huiqing'an". It is located at the west foot of Tiantai Mountain and the east of Zhongmin Garden. It was first built in the Qing Dynasty and was expanded by abbot Renlin in the late Qing Dynasty. In 1938, the abbot, Monk Puming, raised funds to rebuild the main hall, expand the dormitories, and install singles to receive people. It began to take on a jungle scale and was renamed "Huiju Zen Temple". The temple was rebuilt in 1982. In 1984, all Buddha statues were painted and gilded.

The statues of the Eighteen Arhats and Bodhisattvas in the temple are beautiful in shape and lifelike in expression. It is a national key temple.

Ancient prayer platform: The ancient prayer platform is at the foot of Tiantai Peak, about 2 miles away from Guanyin Peak. The road to the rooftop goes around the temple. According to legend, Jin Ksitigarbha once recited the Huayan Sutra here, and monks built this temple to commemorate it, which was named "Great Wish Temple" (Buddhism calls Jin Ksitigarbha "Great Wish Bodhisattva"). Because "prayer prayer" is more popular and easy to remember, it is called "ancient scripture worship platform". The Main Hall of Prayer Platform was rebuilt in 1994 with a construction area of ??650 square meters. Double eaves and roof, frame structure, solemn and vigorous shape. There are three big Buddhas in front of the temple, Manjusri and Samantabhadra on the left and right, Guanyin on the island in the back, and eighteen Arhats on both sides. Walking up the stone steps for more than ten steps from the side of the Main Hall, you will arrive at the Jinjizang prayer site.

An open hall-style tiled house was built above, about two feet high and about ten feet wide, with a gold seated statue of Jizo. On the right wall is an inscription with the words "ancient prayer platform" embedded in it. A rectangular rock protrudes from the ground, with sunken footprints on it. Legend has it that Jin Jizang prayed on this protruding platform. This rock was a stepping stone when he knelt down and worshiped, thus leaving his footprints. The monks who used to practice ascetic practices in Fuhu Cave had followed the example of Ksitigarbha and prayed to the Huayan Sutra for decades, and they also made dents in the floor.
