Linggu Temple, located at the eastern foot of Zijin Mountain, is the only one of more than 70 Buddhist temples in the Southern Dynasties in ancient Zhongshan. It was originally located in today's Ming tombs, but later it was moved to this site because of the construction of the Ming tombs. The pine trees here are towering and the scenery is pleasant, and they are known as "the deep pine of the ancient spirit". The temple was built in the early Ming dynasty, when it was very large, covering an area of 500 mu, from the mountain gate to the big one.
