Bai (701-762), a great poet in the Tang Dynasty (618-907), lies 18 kilometers to
the southwest of Jiangyou City of Sichuan Province. It has long been famous for
its beautiful and magnificent views across China. The Yunyan Buddhist Temple was
grouped into one of the key national protection sites in 1988. The Tuofeng
