Niuxin Temple is located behind Qingyin Pavilion, on the mountainside of Niuxin Ridge, at an altitude of 958 meters. Originally named Yanfu Courtyard, it was renamed Woyun Temple by Zen Master Huitong in the Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, Tripitaka Master Jiye rebuilt it. After several renovations, the existing buildings include the Mahavira Hall, the Avalokitesvara Hall, the wing rooms and the dining hall.
Niuxin Temple is deeply hidden in the dense forest, with a quiet environment. In the past, many eminent monks came to this temple to live, practice and study Buddhist scriptures. Before the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, it was the only way to go from Qingyin Pavilion to Hongchunping. At that time, the temple buildings were magnificent. Later, because the tourist path was changed to Baiyun Gorge, the temple gradually fell into disrepair.At the foot of the back mountain of Niuxin Temple, there is a “Medicine King Cave”. It is said to be the place where Sun Simiao, the “Medicine King”, collected herbs and refined pills in Emei Mountain. The cave is about 5 meters high, nearly 3 meters wide and more than 5 meters deep. There are obvious traces of smoking and roasting at the bottom and entrance of the cave. There is not a single blade of grass on the cave wall, which is said to be due to long-term fumigation by medicine.
The specific business status of the opening hours is subject to the opening situation on the day.
