Where is Shimen Temple?

There is a Shimen Temple in Dazhushan, Jiaonan City, Qingdao. I wonder if it is the one you are looking for. Shimen Temple was built in the fifth year of Jin Dading (1 166). At that time, there were buildings in the temple, such as Daxiong Hall, Tianwang Hall, Bell Tower, Drum Tower and East-West Hall. There is a clear spring under the boulder on the right side of Shimen, which is as clear as jade and named Yuquan. Therefore, people also call Shimen Temple yuquan temple. In the mid-1940s, Shimen Temple was destroyed by war. 1995, Jiaonan Municipal People's Government invested in rebuilding the Daxiong Hall and Tomb Tower Forest of Shimen Temple.

The environment of Shimen Temple is very beautiful. There is a gurgling stream in front of the temple, and there is a lying elephant stone beside the stream. A little further, several peaks are graceful. On the east side and west side of Lion Peak, there are strange stones such as "Bodhisattva bumping into the seat", "Monkey picking peaches" and "Pig carrying his wife". On the south side of the hall, "Monks giving lectures" are vivid, and on the east side of the hall is Dazhushan Reservoir. A clear water surrounds the ancient temple, which is even more beautiful. Tourists fish here with poles, in the water, in the mountains and in the clouds.

This is the same place upstairs. There is another one in Qufu, Shandong.
