Although Yiwu is not a city with strong religious tradition, Yiwu local residents feel proud of Shuanglin Temple.
Located in the south of the city, the thousand-years-old Shuanglin Temple is surrounded by clustered pines in the foothills of Yunhuang Mountain.
Shuanglin Temple started construction in 520A.D., the first year of South-Liang era.
It is hailed as "Auroral State, the first with solemnity."
The Shuanglin Temple we see now is the one repaired in 1997.
New Shuanglin Temple reveals its brilliance and carries forward its 15-century cultural heritage.
