The Fengxue Temple and the Dagoba Forest are located on Fengxue Mountain at the southern foot of Shaonan Mountain of the Zhongyue Song Mountain, nine kilometers northeast of Linru County, Henan Province.

The Fengxue Temple was originally known as Xiangji Temple. Southeast of the temple is a huge stone cave on the cliffs that produces thunderous roars when wind blows through it -- hence its name, Fengxue Cave (Wind Cave). The temple, therefore, was named after the cave, Fengxue Temple, by the locals. According to historical records, the temple was built in the Northern Wei period (386-581). Remaining constructions at the temple include the Zhongfu Hall of the Jin Dynasty (1115-1234), the Pilu Hall and the Bell Dagoba of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). A forest of dagobas stretches across an area near the temple with over 100 monk dagobas from the Yuan (1271-1368), Ming and Qing (1644-1911) Dynasties. It is the second largest dagoba forest after the Shaolin Temple of Henan Province.

Behind the main hall is a Buddhist dagoba named Qizu Dagoba built in commemoration of the accomplished monk, Zhen. The dagoba's name was bestowed by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (618-907). Assuming a square shape, the nine-storied brick dagoba has a double-eaved roof with a height of 27 meters. The dagoba's construction is evenly proportioned and finely sculpted, reflecting the typical style of the double-eaved dagoba of the early Tang Dynasty. The body and top of the dagoba are well preserved, making it a rarity among other Tang dagobas.
