Língshòu

Lingshou lies at the eastern edge of the Taihang Mountains. The ancient state of Zhongshan once made its capital in the wider district, leaving a walled city on the plain. In the mountains, Youju Temple and its pagoda belong to a later Buddhist tradition. A carved stone gateway erected in 1640 honoured Fu Yongchun, an official who served the Ming court in several high offices.
