Of all the beautiful spots and historical sites in the mountain, nearly a hundred are domestically well-known. Yongquan Temple （Spring-gushing Temple）at the half way up the mountain, for example, is listed at the top of the five major temples in Fujian. It covers an area of 1.67 hectares with 25 halls. The temple was built in A.D. 908, with its name deriving from a spring gushing out of the ground. In its prime, there were over 1,000 monks in the temple.
