It is located in the northwest corner of Dangtu County (the site of today’s County People’s Hospital). During the Chiwu period of Emperor Wu of the Three Kingdoms, monks from Kangli State chose three places to build Buddhist temples. One was in Mooling Changgan, one was in Haiyan Jinsu, and the other was Gushua City. Gushua City had the largest base. When Liu Jun, Emperor Xiaowu of the Southern Song Dynasty, visited the south, he stopped here and expanded 28 courtyards. Huacheng Temple has tall pavilions and majestic towers, with flying eaves and carved ridges, which are majestic and spectacular. There are many scenic spots such as the Bell and Drum Tower, Freeing Pond, Guanyin Pavilion, and Ksitigarbha Hall. During the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty, a monk was promoted to the court to build a relic stupa and preside over the altar. During the Jingde period of the Song Dynasty, Huacheng Temple was changed into Wanshou Temple. During the Jianyan period, the Jin soldiers captured Gushu City, and Huacheng Temple was destroyed by the soldiers.

During the Xining period of the Northern Song Dynasty, the monks' path in Huacheng Temple was rebuilt, and it was also called Xingong Qingfeng Pavilion. During the Jianyan period of the Southern Song Dynasty, it was destroyed by war at the same time as Huacheng Temple. In the early years of Zhengtong in the Ming Dynasty, Zhou Chen, the right minister of the Ministry of Industry, was on a tour to the south of the Yangtze River. He was stationed in Gushe, and wanted to choose a scenic spot to rebuild Qingfeng Pavilion. Due to the passage of time, the lake has turned into land, and the northwest corner of the city has become a land of ditches and ridges, but it has not been successful.

The Hall of Oaths of Purity was built in the ninth year of Jiading in the Song Dynasty (1216), and was named after the ancestor Ti's meaning of "attacking the middle stream and vowing to clear the Central Plains". In the sixth year of Chunyou (1246), the Shiqing Hall was renovated and renamed with the three characters "Jimu Pavilion" written by Mi Fu, so it was also called "Jimu Pavilion". All the above-mentioned ancient buildings have disappeared, and only the ruins of Huangshan Tower and Lingshotai still exist.
