Introduction to Yisu Nunnery: Also known as "Yisu Zen Forest", it is located southwest of Ersheng Temple, on the east bank of Jiuhua River, 2 kilometers away from Qiao (Qiao) Nunnery. It was built in the 36th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1608) and was abandoned for a time in the Qing Dynasty. From 1926 to 1949, the abbot, monk Hengshan, rebuilt the temple, built a new main hall, and renamed the nunnery "One-stay Zen Forest". The existing main hall was built in 1930, in residential style, with a brick and wood structure and a two-story building. The temple contains inscriptions, incense burners, iron bells, plaques, couplets and other cultural relics from the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China period.
