During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, it was renovated and the "Thousand Buddha Temple" was renamed as "xingguo temple". Qianfo Mountain has become an incense resort. Since the Yuan Dynasty, temple fairs have been held on the Double Ninth Festival every year. After the liberation of China, 1959 was built into a park.
