Shuanglin Temple, originally named Zhongdu Temple, is located in Qiaotou village, six kilometers southwest of the city. In the northern Song Dynasty, in order to memorialize Buddha who attained Nirvana under two trees in a forest, it was changed into ‘Shuanglin, (双) ‘shuang’ meaning ‘two or double’, and (林) ‘lin’ meaning ‘forest.’ It was rebuilt in 571. Repaired several times, the existing buildings were constructed in the Ming Dynasty.
