Introduction to the Yongjin Stone: Walk up the stone steps from the right side of Jinbei Temple for more than ten minutes to reach the Yongjin Stone. The Yongjin Stone is shaped like a gold ingot, with stone boots, stone treasure boxes and stone poles on the side. It is said that in the eighth year of Dazhong in the Tang Dynasty, a monk returned from Jubai at night and saw gold shining on the edge of a huge stone. He dug it and got a handful of gold rulers, so it was also called the Yongjin Ruler. Jubai built the Jinbei Temple with it. According to the "Tongzhi of Fujian Province", the Yongjin Stone is one of the seventeen golden shells. Half of the golden stones are inside the temple and half are outside the temple.
