The temple gate is inscribed with the word "True as a Zen Temple", which was inscribed by Zhao Puchu, a leading poet in contemporary poetry and former president of the National Buddhist Association. A gilded Amitabha Buddha in the temple is 2 1 m high and weighs nearly a thousand tons. It is the largest stone Buddha in East China. The three halls live in seclusion in the mountains, with great momentum and growing day by day.

On the right is the Hall of Great Compassion, which is dedicated to the Goddess of Mercy with thousands of hands and eyes on all sides. In front of the main hall is a bronze tripod with 13 floors, which is 16 meters high. On the left is the prayer hall under construction. In the newly-built Jade Buddha Hall at the lower left, three white marble Buddha statues with a height of more than 2 meters are rare in China, and were presented by Burmese laymen.

Scenic resources (1) Huashan unique natural secondary forest community. Huashan Scenic Area in the park is located between Youzi Mountain and Gucheng Lake, with cliffs and deep ravines. It used to be the back hill of Nanjing Gaochun Prison and Reform-through-Labor Farm, and few people set foot there. This unique geographical location is a typical transitional zone between the north subtropical zone and the middle subtropical zone, which makes this 550-hectare mountain vegetation evolve for 300 to 400 years and form a complete natural secondary forest community. Therefore, it is rich in biodiversity and contains more unique and transitional elements. There are wild vascular plants 1543 species in this area, belonging to 175 family. The constructive species of this community are: Magnolia grandiflora, Magnolia grandiflora, Michelia, etc. Magnoliaceae; Quercus acutissima, Quercus microphylla, Quercus variabilis, Cyclobalanopsis glauca and Castanopsis sclerophylla of FAGACEAE; Cinnamomum camphora, Zanthoxylum bungeanum, Zanthoxylum bungeanum, Sassafras sassafras, etc. White sandalwood, etc. Ilex of Ilex, etc. ; Green sandalwood, beech, Pu Shu, Elaeagnus angustifolia, Elaeagnus angustifolia, Elaeagnus angustifolia, etc. Shrub layer includes Ericaceae, rice fragrance, Vaccinium bracteatum and so on. Beech tree, mosquito mother tree, etc. Hamamelidaceae; Camelliaceae tea, camellia oleifera, etc. The whole forest community is stable, and the trees in the forest are common in 200-300 years (average tree height is 26.5m, average DBH is 26.7 cm, average crown width 19.3m, among which the largest tree is 37.5m, DBH is 38.2 cm and crown width is 29.7m). In particular, there are rare and endangered subtropical plants such as Polygonum aviculare, Parthenocissus tricuspidata and Du Ruo in the forest. Because these plants have extremely strict requirements for habitats, it is enough to show that Huashan has an excellent ecological environment. Therefore, it has become a unique natural secondary forest community. In addition, Gaochun people attach importance to the protection of natural ecology, so that these endangered plants continue to multiply.
Youzishan (2) Rare flat storage-Papilio sinensis population. There are more than 20 hectares of Polygonum aviculare communities in the west of Huashan yuquan temple and Sanling. Du Heng, the whole grass of Aristolochiaceae, is the host of Papilio sinensis, a national second-class protected animal in China. In April, 20 1 1, entomologists of Nanjing Forestry University found 7-8 Papilio in the habitat of Huadian community, and calculated that this population may be the largest Papilio community found so far, with about 400-500, which is unique in East China and even the whole country.
In addition, Smilax glabra also has the effects of expelling wind and cold, eliminating phlegm and promoting diuresis, promoting blood circulation and relieving asthma, and relieving pain, and it is rich in volatile oil and has a fragrant smell. Du Heng also has rich cultural connotations. It is an important and common herb in the pre-Qin period, which is often found in poems and songs. Qu Yuan's "Lisao" contains "leaving the country to expose the car and mixing the local records of Du Heng"; "Nine Songs Shan Gui" has "being led by Shi Lan Xi Du Heng, leaving behind thoughts"; Mrs. Xiang's Nine Songs includes Wu, dazzling Du Heng and Xi Du Ruo, who will be forgotten and gone. Sima Xiangru's Shang Fu Lin in the Western Han Dynasty also has: "To the east, there is constancy"; "When you open the hood, you can shoot it dry ... the wind should be invincible, the fragrance should be strong, and the fragrance should be more and more beautiful." In literary works, Du Heng is often used as a metaphor for a gentleman and a saint. Jiang Yan's Ode to Hometown in the Southern Dynasties: "Du Heng in the south of the Yangtze River looks old and is willing to be an oriole to report beauty." Don Pi Rixiu's "Nine Ironies, Seeing Chasing": "Pitts is so filthy that Du Heng can't let go." Zhou Lianggong in the Qing Dynasty wrote a poem "It's gratifying to have a weak brother in China": "If we do our best to inherit the precedent, Zhou Fang will lose Du Heng."
(3) Beautiful scenery. Huashan Mountain in the park is located beside the vast Gucheng Lake, and the mountains and rivers complement each other. The water surface of Gucheng Lake is 3 100 hectares, which belongs to 1000.3 hectares within the forest park division. Gucheng Lake is a natural lake belonging to Gaochun District. It is named after the ancient Gucheng Lake near the lake, commonly known as "Hu Xiaonan". Gucheng Lake belongs to the Yangtze River system and is a natural lake with the best drinking water quality in Jiangsu Province. The water quality is stable in the national Class II standard, and the lake is clear. Looking at Huashan Mountain, the beautiful Gucheng Lake is like a mirror and the blue sky is like a wash. Boating on the lake, looking up at Huashan Mountain, the abrupt lush green hills and the beautiful lake set each other off in interest, showing the beauty of the scenery.
Gucheng Lake is rich in natural bait, and its aquatic products such as fish, shrimp and crab are well known. The crabs produced in Gucheng Lake are the first organic crab in China, the first famous trademark of aquatic products in China and the first national geographical indication product.
(4) Rich Youzishan culture. Youzishan was originally named Liangshan and Mianshan. According to the local inscription (the inscription was buried under the wall of Youzifeng TV building), Confucius climbed this mountain when he traveled around the world, which gave rise to the idea that the wanderer wanted to return. Later generations renamed this mountain Youzi Mountain. By March of 20 13, there were 30,000 Kong families at the foot of Youzi Mountain, which was the largest Kong family residence in China except Qufu. Youzishan is Gaochun's father mountain and Gucheng Lake is Gaochun's mother lake, so Youzishan Forest Park is a symbol of Gaochun. For thousands of years, Gaochun people "cried when they didn't see Youzi Mountain". This wandering cultural complex is deeply rooted in the blood of Gaochun people, and Youzi Mountain is the sacred mountain in Gaochun people's hearts. In the inscription of Youshan Temple in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, it was recorded: "Where there is a will in ancient times, there must be lofty people, who sing string songs in the mountains and swim freely, so the good ones are not named because of their piano music!" There are five members begging and wandering in the east; In the north, there are sheep left to eat Putang, which is a righteous brigade; In the west, there are Xie Tiao Jianchi Qingshan, official tour; "In the south, ChuPing reprimanded LingYang, is a wandering fairy. This "four tours" culture is the essence of Youzishan culture. I visited Wu Zixu and Cui Zhiyuan, leaving behind Xu He and "Two Women's Graves". Yiyou, including Zuo and Jie Tui, left the legend of the Cold Food Festival of Zuo Tomb and Jie Tui. Official tours, including Confucius and Emperor Qianlong, left the reputation of "Master Stone" and "Holy Land in the South of the Yangtze River"; Xianyou, including Jin Qiaojue, the Bodhisattva Dizang, and Bai Yang 'an, a Taoist priest, left behind the remains of Zen temples and "drying stones". Every year on the 15th day of the first month, Gaochun people like to visit Youzi Mountain, which is called "sunbathing".
The human history of Youzi Mountain is "the scenery here is beautiful, and I am just a guest from other places". More than 2,000 years ago, Confucius climbed Youzi Mountain and saw green mountains, lakes and mountains. The scenery was very beautiful. However, the trauma left by the dispute between Wu and Chu can still be seen everywhere, and he can't help feeling deeply and homesick. He feels that he is a wandering wanderer, lacking the ability to remonstrate with the monarch and love the people. It is time to return to his hometown and support his life. A few years later, Confucius died of depression in Qufu. Later generations named this mountain Youzi Mountain in memory of this saint.
Youzishan Youzishan is a "holy land of three religions" which integrates Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. Not only Confucius has been to Youzi Mountain; According to legend, Jin Qiaojue, the Tibetan King and Bodhisattva, was attracted by the scenery here when he crossed the sea to preach Buddhism in China, and once visited here for leisure. Gaochun folks have always believed that the first place where Tibetan King Bodhisattva came to China was Youzi Mountain. In the Qing Dynasty, Taoist disciples saw that it was quiet, strange and beautiful, with fertile farmland at the foot of the mountain and green bamboos and trees on the mountain, so they built a Taoist temple-Xuanwu Temple at the top of Youzi Mountain.
Youzi Mountain is the highest peak in Gaochun District of Nanjing, with an altitude of188m. It is beautiful, tall, diverse and wonderful in workmanship, and is known as "the first type of bead racing".
On the 15th day of the first month of every year, Gaochun people go to Youzi Mountain to play, which is called "basking in the sun", which means to drive away evil spirits. It can be seen that Youzi Mountain is a sacred mountain in the eyes of Gaochun people.
