The famous temple Dedao'an, also known as Yunshan, is located on the mountainside of the first mountain on the coast of Jiesheng Town. The entire temple covers an area of ??600 square meters and is only 0.5 kilometers away from the town center.

This place is known as the elegant artistic conception of "listening to the sound of waves playing Sanskrit music near the sea, and seeing the sea and sky in the same color from a distance".

It is said that during the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, Huiling, a girl from the Jiesheng Zhu family, never married. She worshiped Yuanshi Tianzun, the Taoist immortal ancestor, in the winding and quiet mountains of Yunshan Huguo Zhenhai Mountain.

She burned the magic lamp in the cave for many years and practiced the immortal way devoutly.

During this period, a solitary monk traveled here and saw that this place was elegant and quiet, making it a good place for practicing Zen and attaining Taoism. So through begging for help, he and Zhu Gu Huiling built a palace and temple to worship Tathagata Sakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism, and Yuanshi Tianzun, the ancestor of Taoism.

After the hard work of several generations of Zen monks and Zhu Gu, Yunshan Temple was built.

Soon, Fairy Huiling practiced diligently and became an immortal.

The believers respected the founder of the temple, Zhu Shi Huiling, and called her Huiling Fairy in the name of Buddhism and Taoism. Yunshan Temple was then renamed Dedao'an, which means the place where Zhu Aunt attained Taoism.

Since Aunt Zhu was a woman, she changed the temple into a nunnery.

Therefore, Dedaoan came from here.

Dedao'an is famous for its beautiful environment and numerous cultural landscapes.

There was an endless stream of people, and many literati came here to inscribe and write poems, which became a good story here.
