In the Tang Dynasty, there was also the Mida Temple, which is the only Buddhist temple in Penglai Pavilion. The temple was once very prosperous, and then because of the Tang Wuzong Li Yan forbidden Buddha, although it was not demolished, but also once the monks and nuns were still vulgar, and the courtyard was cold.
