Located at Fengqiao Town five kilometers west of Suzhou, Chilly Hill Temple,more popularly referred to as Hanshan Temple, was built during the period from502 to 519. It got the name because a monk named Hanshan once served as abbot here in the Tang Dynasty. Buildings to visit within the temple include Grand Hall, Sutra Storage Tower (Cangjinglou), Bell Tower (Zhonglou), Maple River Tower (Fengjianglou), and Steles Corridor (Beilang).
