History of Lingshan Temple in Yiyang:

Yiyang Lingshan Temple, a thousand-year-old temple, is the sister temple of Baima Temple, the ancestral temple of Buddhism in China. It is also the only famous Buddhist resort and tourist attraction in the Central Plains. Since 2000, Yiyang County of Henan Province has reformed and enriched the traditional Lingshan Temple Fair with a long history with the aim of "government leading, public participation, tourism development and economic revitalization".

The spontaneous traditional temple fair, which mainly burns incense and worships Buddha, will be turned into a cultural temple fair covering tourism, cultural performances, economic and trade exhibitions and Buddhist activities. Every temple fair, the number of people's organizations in western Henan and neighboring provinces is more than 500 thousand.

Based on the principle of "enthusiasm, solemnity, health and order", Lingshan Cultural Temple Fair focuses on publicizing the Party's policies, skills of getting rich and stamp collecting knowledge to the masses, and arranges colorful folk acrobatics, touring performances, stamp collecting exhibitions and "culture, science and technology, healthy going to the countryside" and other activities in the form of activities. Lingshan Temple Fair has become the most influential rural cultural activity in western Henan after the Spring Festival and before Luoyang Peony Fair.
