Lingyin Temple

The Lingyin Temple is one of the ten most famous temples, one of the largest and one of the wealthiest temples in China.  The story behind the temple is that a famous Indian Monk named Huili passed by the mountains and was taken away by its resemblance to the Linju Mountains in India so he built a temple and called it Lingyin.  It also contains many caves and rock carvings, the most famous being the Feilai Feng cave which its interior is covered with limestone that is different from the other mountains.
