Whether it is the style of the mountain gate or the overall scale of the monastery, it can be said that it is far from the other three famous temples. For example, Tanzhao Temple covers an area of up to 1,800 mu, and the Lama Temple in the city also covers 100 mu, while Guangji Temple has only 34 mu. It does seem to be a bit "unsighty"; But Guangji Temple is an 800-year-old temple built in the Jin Dynasty. The name of the temple was also given by Ming Xianzong himself after the reconstruction of the Ming Dynasty. Mr. Sun Yat-sen also lectured here, and it has been the seat of the Chinese Buddhist Association since 1953, which can be said to have become the center of Chinese Buddhism.

The end of the Yuanbao Enhongji Temple was destroyed in the war. During the Ming Jingtai years, the pottery Buddha statues, porcelain, stone turtles and stone pillar tops and other things obtained by digging the ground knew that this was the site of the ancient temple. Tianshun was in the early year (1457), and the disciple Yuanhong of Puhui, Shanxi, traveled here and made a wish to revive the ancient temple. With the strong support of the fashion clothes supervisor, it took only two years to complete the renovation, and Ming Xianzong was named "Yu Ci Guangji Temple" in the second year of Chenghua (1466).

This entrance into the courtyard almost became a parking lot. The roadsides on both sides were full of cars. It should be staff and visitors. It is really not easy to park in the city, but the monastery is really not dignified, destroying the atmosphere, and it really affects the experience of tourists and pilgrims.
