Introduction to the Ancestral Forest: The Ancestral Forest is located at the foot of Huizhao Peak in the southeast of Yutu Mountain. It is the burial place of the two holy monks, She Moteng and Zhu Falan, who were the earliest propagators and founders of Chinese Buddhism and the earliest founders of Ciyun Temple. According to the inscriptions of Ciyun Temple, the original pagoda in the ancestral forest had a three-story base. The pagoda was seven levels high and magnificent. Unfortunately, it is unknown when it was destroyed. According to legend, a grand ancestor worship event is held here every year on the eighth day of the fourth lunar month.
