The Historical Evolution of Phoenix
During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Phoenix was a commercial and military town in northern China with a population of nearly 10,000. At that time, there were many businesses in Phoenix, and the people on the street were sweating and bustling. At that time, there were many temples in the city, including 18 temples in Gushan, Guangbei, which burned incense all the year round. After hundreds of years of historical evolution, ancient buildings in the city are rare. The existing ancient sites in Beigushan include the Thousand Buddha Cave in the east, the Temple of Wealth in the west and the rain platform on the top of the mountain. Several pairs of stone lions and stone tablets beside the mountain gate have witnessed the vicissitudes of the times.
