Xichan Temple, one of the five major Buddhist forests in Fuzhou, is a national key temple, located at the top of Yishan Mountain in the western suburbs, on the west side of Industrial Road. The ancient temple gate is engraved with a pair of zilian: "the four sycamore trees in the Song Dynasty, the bells ring the Tang sound." This is a joint sentence written by Zhou Lian in the Qing Dynasty, pointing out that "Xichan Temple" is the ancient temple of the Tang Dynasty. It is said that during the north and south dynasties, the alchemist king Ba lived here "the alchemy medicine, the stone is the Dan". Every time he was hungry, he sold medicine and sold gold for rice to help the poor people. Later, Wangba "take medicine Xianyu" people built a temple in his former residence. The mustard was deposed.
