How about Wuning Mituo Temple?

Mituo Temple in Wuning is a cultural tourist attraction.

Mituo Temple in Phoenix Mountain, Yangzhou, Wuning, was founded at the end of Han Dynasty. Because of the combination of standby fate (contained in the inscription of Xigua Temple Changmingdengshe), it was named "Phoenix Mountain". In the early days of the Three Kingdoms, Zhong Sun, the grandfather of Sun Quan, planted watermelons at Guashe Pass in Fenghuang Mountain, hence the name "Watermelon Ancient Temple". After Li Tang, a venerable man retired here and named it "Pilugang", which was later renamed "Feng Ming Zen Forest". In the forty-first year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Hongnai, a monk, was released. For the sake of restoring ancient ways, the temple was renamed "Watermelon Temple".
