The Dayun Hall is also known as Dayun Temple. Leaning on the mountains and facing the water, the hall was built according to a Chinese traditional geomantic omen, with the front part constructed lower than the rear. Originally called Fairy Rock Hall, the Dayun Hall was built in 938 and changed its name to Dayun Buddha Hall in 983. The hall was gradually abandoned and the present construction scale has lost its former grandeur, even after many renovations by later generations.

Main constructions in the current hall include the temple gate, the God Hall, the back hall and two side rooms -- all built during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). The Dafo Hall, erected during the Five Dynasties (907-960), is three bays wide and has a single-eaved gable and hip roof. Twenty-one-square-meter frescos of the period can still be seen in the hall. They include pictures of magnificent palaces encircled by floating clouds and eight beautiful performers -- some depicted dancing gracefully as others accompany them with musical instruments. On the horizontal partition wall is a painting of Kwan-yin with the flying Apsaras dancing on the clouds above. The frescos use blue, green and reddish-brown as background colors, mimicking the frescoes of the late Tang Dynasty (618-907), which are kept in the Dunhuang Grottos. Stone-carved censers from the Five Dynasties period also remain in the hall.

Stone scriptures from 966 of the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127) and a stone-carved Budda statue dating to 999 were erected in front of the Dafo Hall. Both are precious examples of traditional stone carvings.

Qibao Tower, which stands outside the mountain gate, was built in 954. Carved in hard, black stone, the seven-storied tower only has five stories remaining and stands at a height of six meters. The first three floors of the tower assume an octagonal shape. The first floor has carvings of lotus flowers, lions, kylins and flying horses; the second floor includes lifelike carvings depicting performers dancing gracefully; and the third floor features dragons snaking around columns. Carvings of two dragons playing with a huge pearl adorn the arched doors located on all four sides of the tower, with two statues of gods standing on both sides. The fifth floor is covered with a pearl-shaped top. The tower reveals its originality with its quaint designs and the beauty of Tang-style architecture, with its finely carved patterns and figures.
