Huyan Temple in Tuling was built in Zhongxiang House of Northern Song Dynasty (A.D. 1008- 10 16). Huyan Temple is an ancient temple pavilion surrounded by mountains, with steep rocks, clear springs and dense forests: "The dense forest hides tigers, and the peaks and mountains are dyed with clear clouds.

The ancient trees among the rocks are evergreen all the year round, and the strange stone wonders are unique and rare natural landscapes in southern Fujian.

There is a deep tiger hole in the mountain. Tigers did live there. At that time, there was an abbot monk in the temple who went out at dusk every day. Every time he comes back, the tiger waits at the foot of the mountain. Every time he comes back, the monk will take a piece of fresh meat to feed the tiger waiting for him. Once a monk took fresh meat and hid it in his sleeve, but said to the tiger; I have no meat to feed you today. The tiger will be angry when he sees no meat, and he will die with a monk in his mouth. After the monk died, the fresh meat in his sleeve fell to the ground. When the tiger saw the meat fall to the ground, he roared and lamented that he had accidentally injured his master's life. He was so sad that he jumped off the cliff and committed suicide. Therefore, it is said that Khufu got his name.
