    It is a praise for Monk Dizang. When at an old age, he led his disciples to Nantai, sitting cross-legged and reading sutra. He died there and his body stayed as fresh as he were alive after three years. It was believed that Dizang Bodhisattva was reincarnate in him, thus he was called “Golden Dizang”. It is said that “Round Light” appeared above the peak, which is extoled as mystery. Nantai, the old name, was replaced by Shenguang Ridge. Later, a T-store, octagon wooden tower was built upon the stone tower, outside which a palace worshipping the holy buddhist relics was built. After thousands of years' continual repair, it appears more and more grand. The whole palace is sorrounded by trees, shadowed by jade green pines and cypresses. On the south porch of the palace, hung a golden inscribed board saying “First Mountain in southeast” on the north gate, a board inscribed “Bu Jing Sheng Di” is hung, under which there is a semi-circl balcony, with two bel buildings on each side. There are 99 years' of age of Dizang. The palace holding the relics is a certainly-go-place for tourists. Espeically on 30th, July, the birthday of Dizang, thousands of pious men and wowen would rush there to pay him homage, they circle around the tower while reciting sutra even without rest at night. Every year before and after the festival, there is a temple fair held there, lasting for half a month, which combines buddhist ceremony, tourism and commercial activity together, it is really buzzling with unique exiciterment.
