The main hall is the Hall of Sakyamuni, handed down by the calligrapher Mi Shi in the Northern Song Dynasty. Yuan Yanyou (1314-1321) was destroyed by fire and will be rebuilt soon. There is a Buddha tooth relic in the temple as the treasure of the town temple. It is said that during the Jiaqing period of Sejong in the Ming Dynasty, there was always light emission at night under the wheel. The monk in the temple suspected that there was gold and silver hidden under it, so he dug it up and found two stone carvings, which were very similar to the calligraphy of Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi, but they were unnamed.

There is also a large tulou pavilion in the temple, which is 100 feet high. There are two ancient wells in the temple, one of which is named sandalwood well because of the fragrance of boiled water. Everyone uses it, and the other well is gradually abandoned. In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Feng Kui built a house and began to occupy the temple foundation. During the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, there were only 6 acres and 4 points left in the temple. 19 12, Hou Hongjian rented 5 mu of 4% inheritance, moved the private Jingzhi girls' school founded by 1905 to Beichan Temple, and built a school building.

1962, Wuxi Buddhist Pure Society belongs to the temple. At the beginning of the Cultural Revolution, monks were expelled, and temples were demolished and converted into private houses, leaving only five. After liberation, Jingzhi Girls' School became the second girls' middle school in Wuxi. 1972 changed to No.12 middle school. 200 1 changed to Lindong Middle School. 1988, the old house was demolished and converted into a new residential building.
