Stone Gate Temple is situated in the mountains on the north of the main height Dazhaiding Mountain. It is called Stone Gate Temple because it uses two gigantic stones as the temple gate. It was built in 1166 and it used to consist of the Great Buddha’s Hall, Heavenly King’s Hall, Bell Tower, Drum Tower and the eastern and western side halls. In front of the temple there is a mountain with a 141-metre-high naturally-shaped Buddha standing on top of it. What is rare is that there is a rock shaped like a monk kneeling beside the Buddha. A clear fountain lies beside the stone gate and it does not dry up in droughts. A stream flows past the temple, and in the east and west there are mountains with strange-shaped rocks and boulders. On the east of the temple there is the Dazhushan Reservoir where you can fish and enjoy the graceful mountain scenery at the same time.
