Shuanggui Hall is located in Wanzhu Mountain, Jindai Town, 9 kilometers southwest of Liangping County, Chongqing City. It is a national key Buddhist temple in the Han area designated by the State Council.

The reason why Shuanggui Hall is called "Tang" instead of "Temple" is related to its status as "University Hall". Shuanggui Hall was founded during the turbulent period between the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Scholars and officials fled to Buddhism one after another. They either used Zen and Taoism as a spiritual refuge, or expressed their feelings and recalled their homeland. For a time, eminent monks gathered and masters emerged in large numbers. In addition, when Shuanggui Hall was founded, it was Shifang Jungle established in the model of "Academic Meditation Hall", which is a Buddhist higher education institution and research institution.

Shuanggui Hall was founded in the 10th year of Shunzhi (1653) in the Qing Dynasty. Its founder was Zen Master Poshan, a famous monk in the Qing Dynasty. The temple was named "Shuanggui Hall" because Master Poshan planted two osmanthus trees in the temple. Guitang". Shuangguitang's method is Zen, and Poshan inherits the method of Zen Master Miyun of Tiantong Temple in Ningbo, who is known as the "36th generation founder of Linji Authentic Sect".

Zen Master Poshan has many disciples in Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Chongqing and other provinces and cities, and some even go to Southeast Asia to spread Buddhism. Therefore, Shuanggui Tang also has a certain influence in Southeast Asia. Cambodian Prince Sihanouk asked Liang Ping Shuanggui Tang many times and expressed his strong intention to visit Shuanggui Tang. After the establishment of Shuanggui Hall, it received the support of successive emperors of the Qing Dynasty and successively built seven halls, eight halls, and eight courtyards, covering an area of ??more than 120 acres.

Selected into the 2015 New Chongqing·Bayu Twelve Scenic Cultural Resorts Category. Huashizhai is located in Group 3 of Huashi Village, Jindai Town, Liangping County, Chongqing City. It is an isolated peak more than 260 meters high rising abruptly from Pingba.

The solitary peak is in the shape of a spindle, surrounded by cliffs. The flat land on the top of the peak is about 6,000 square meters. To the west of the peak is a complete stone wall with an inclination of about 75 degrees and an area of ??nearly 100,000 square meters. There is a zigzag stone step not more than a foot wide carved into the stone wall, which is the only way to reach the village. It takes more than an hour to walk from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the village, including more than 2,000 stone steps carved into the stone wall. There are two gates guarding the village from the mountainside to the top. Climbing to the top of the village, traces of the tiles of dozens of wooden structures can be seen. The bluestone gate and fort are still well preserved, and there are shooting holes on all four walls. The entire fort consumes about 10,000 square meters of stone, and the project is huge.

The White Lotus Religious Army in Northeast Sichuan has been active in Liangshan County (now Liangping County) for seven years. Tens of thousands of rebels have captured most of Liangping several times. At that time, the magistrate of Liangshan County in the Qing Dynasty ordered people to build more than 200 village forts in the county, and forced nearly 40,000 people in the county to move to the villages. After 300 years of wind and rain, all the other ancient villages in Liangping County have been abandoned and no walls remain. Except for the only stone step road that can go up the mountain in Weihua Shizhai, the rest of the place or the entire sloping stone wall is covered with smooth growth. The moss or thorns and weeds were so overgrown that there was no way to get to the village, so it was spared from man-made destruction.

In 2015, Talc Ancient Village successfully established itself as a national AAA tourist attraction.
