Cifu Temple

This temple, also known as Chantang (Meditation Hall) Yard, is on the lower section of a shady slope to the south of the mouth of the Zixia Valley and at the back of Pusa Ding (Bodhisattva Top). The temple is a long strip, with a large forest on the upper side and a stream flowing along the lower side. Cifu is actually one part of the Taihuai temple grouping but stands apart. It was built in the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912) and is a Shaman temple with some remarkable characteristics of Tibetan architecture.
