The Temple of the Hidden Immortals (Linying Si), 3km/2mi southwest of Jade Spring, dates from 326 BC and is one of the most famous temples in China. It is thought that in the 10th C there were some 300 buildings here housing 3000 monks. After having been destroyed during the Taiping Uprising (1851-64) the building was rebuilt.
