Wannian Temple is one of the starting points for hiking. The beamless halls in the temple are all brick structures, built by Emperor Wanli to celebrate his mother's birthday. The Three Treasures are enshrined in the "Xingyuan Building" in the temple: Buddha Tooth, Bayeux Sutra and Wanli Gold Seal, which are treasures you can't miss. Today's Wannian Temple, most of the buildings were rebuilt in 1953. The Beamless Hall was built in the 28th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty. There are 24 Buddhist niches in the lower part of the inner wall of the hall, and there are iron-cast Buddha statues in each niche. There is also a bronze statue of Samantabhadra in the beamless brick hall, which is shaped like Samantabhadra sitting on a golden lotus throne on the back of a white elephant with six tusks. In the "Xingyuan Building" at the back of the hall are enshrined: Buddha Tooth, Bayeux Sutra and Wanli Gold Seal. The tooth of the Buddha is about 40 centimeters long, and it was a gift from Sri Lankan monks during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, according to expert research, this tooth is a tooth fossil of a stegodont. The Beiye Sutra was presented by the king of Siam (now Thailand) in the Ming Dynasty, and wrote all the scriptures of the Sanskrit "Zunyi Agama Sutra". The Wanli gold seal, one of the three treasures, is very precious. This square seal is 13 cm square and weighs 4 kg. It is a seal bestowed by Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty. Because it was a reward from the emperor, even though it was made of bronze, the monks also respectfully called it the golden seal. The environment in the temple is quiet and quiet, and there are a large number of historical inscriptions, among which is the "First Mountain Stele" written by Mi Fu, a calligrapher in the Song Dynasty.
