In the Sui Dynasty, the wonderful Qiling Tower was built at the site. In the Tang Dynasty, the abbot（住持） of the Daming Temple Jian Zhen sailed across to Japan to spread Buddhism. The Pingshan Hall was built here in the Song Dynasty The Daming Temple enjoyed its highest fame in the Qing dynasty

The Daming Temple Scenic Spot mainly consists of three parts, the temple complex, the Memorial Hall Of Master Jian Zhen and the Pingshan Hall.

Further north stands the main hall of the temple, called the Mahavira Hall（大雄寶殿），which is a one-story building with a triple-eave roof（三重檐屋頂）. To the east of the Daming Temple stands the high Qiling Tower. In the Tang Dynasty many a poet like Li Bai, Gao Shi, Bai Juyi and Liu Yuxi visited and climbed the tower and wrote verses. The present Qiling Tower, a nine-story structure reaching 70 metres in height, was rebuilt in 1995 in the style of the Tang Dynasty.

The main building of the Memorial Hall Of Master Jian Zhen is located to the northeast of the Mahavira Hall. Jian Zhen, a famous master of Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty, was a Yangzhou native. He resided in the Daming Temple as the abbor for many years before he left for Japan. Jian Zhen’s sailing to Japan had great influences on Japan.

To the west of the Mahavira Hall is the Pingshan Hall which was built by Ou Yangxiu. After the failure of the reform(改革), he was demoted（貶職）to Yangzhou to take office as the mayor. Years later, Su Dongpo, Ou Yangxiu’s student, came to Yangzhou. In order to memorize his teacher, he built the Guilin Hall behind the Pingshan Hall. Besides, Emperors Kangxi and Qianlong admired Ou Yangxiu for his personality, statesmanship（治國(guó)之才） and essays so much that they came here each time they went on their southern inspection tours.
