The ancient Shengshou Temple might be a strange name to young people, let alone its brilliant history and charming resorts. But it will only take you one day to get to know it and even admire it.

Located halfway of the Fulongshan Mountain, around 20 kilometers to the north of Chengxi Community, Yiwu city, the Temple entrance is next to the highway. The couplets on the stone pillars at the entrance, obvious to visitors upon arrival, tell people not to miss the sacred place with charming scenery. Walking inside and climbing along the stone stairs, you will see the Shengshou Temple after the Buyun Pavilion, the Lianjing Pavilion and the Bell Tower. Established in the early Tang Dynasty, the quiet temple attracted such scholars as Song Lian and Fang Xiaonuo to write books and give lectures here. After several destructions and renovations, the Temple, rebuilt in recent years, only keeps such ancient relics as the Shengshou Temple stele, the stone arhat, the pedestal of the stone pillar and the Bairu Spring of the Yuan Dynasty. But the centuries-old yacca, revived after death, is a true miracle.

The 600-year-old yacca, withered as a result of deliberate torture in the Cultural Revolution, saw sprouting leaves in the spring of 1987. With a hollow root broken to pieces and a shiny trunk, the yacca has two green branches sticking to the sky.

After climbing to the Lianjing Pavilion, you will be able to enjoy a surely wonderland view of the ancient temple, the green mountain and the Changyan Reservoir in the breeze.
