What is the name of the temple in Fangshan that worships Buddha and burns incense?

There is Ding Lin Temple on the hill in Fangshan, Nanjing. There are pagodas in the temple.

Ding Lin Temple is located in Fangshan, Jiangning District, Nanjing, with a history of 1500 years. It is a famous temple in Jinling and one of the "Forty-eight Scenes of Jinling". Historically, Ding Lin Temple was divided into "Upper Ding Lin Temple" and "Lower Ding Lin Temple", and Ding Lin Temple in Fangshan was the Lower Ding Lin Temple.

During the Southern Dynasties when Xiao Yan was established in Liang Wudi, the founder of Dharma in Tianzhu went to Xiadinglin Temple to hold Buddhist activities. Up to now, Fangshan still retains historical sites such as "Damo Cliff", where the father of Zen Buddhism sat. Therefore, it is called "Nandinglin, north shaolin" in Buddhism. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the incense of Xiadinglin Temple was very prosperous, and with the continuous construction of the temple, its scale became more and more grand.

Ding Lin Temple Tower (also known as Fangshan Leaning Tower) was built in the ninth year of the Southern Song Dynasty (A.D. 1 173), with a height of about14.50m.. It is a seven-story, eight-sided pavilion-style brick tower, imitating wood structure. The bottom layer and the second layer are square inside, and more than three layers are cylindrical.
