Green Rocks Mountain - Temple of Good Fortune and Festivities

The Temple of Good Fortune and Festivities, probably of the Sui period (589-618), is dedicated to the daughter of the Sui emperor Yangdi. One of the main buildings, dating from the early Tang period (618-907), is the Hall of Princess Nanyang who converted to Buddhism following the death of her father. At the far end of the hall is a grotto which apparently served as the princess's bedroom. Also kept in the temple, in addition to the painted earthenware statue of the princess, are ten statues of ladies-in-waiting playing old musical instruments. There is also a wall fresco portraying the conversion and life's work of the princess, who became a nun.

The brick pagoda behind the temple dates from the late Ming period
