Tell me the characteristics of Mianning Lingshan Temple in a few words

Mianning Lingshan is centered on Lingshan Temple, with a planned protection area of ??40 square kilometers. Lingshan Temple was built during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty and is the largest religious temple in Mianning County today. The main building, the Mahavira Hall, is spacious and grand with a solemn structure. Sakyamuni is enshrined in the middle of the front hall, with eighteen Arhats on both sides. The back hall is dedicated to the woodcut idols of Monk Yang Xuexin, the founder of Lingshan Temple, Wuzhen. Facing the Buddha is the sitting statue of Skanda protector. It is said that all the Skandas in the world are in a standing posture, but only the Skandas in Lingshan Temple are seated, because Lingshan Temple was originally pure, and the Bu Lao Skanda stood guarding the Dharma with eager eyes. In the center of the front of the temple is the newly built glazed tile mountain gate. With the main hall patio as the center, there are numerous houses and corridors on both sides, connected vertically and horizontally from front to back, left and right, and integrated into a complex of ancient buildings. Outside the mountain gate, there are six vigorous and tall ancient pines, which are as thick as three or four people can hug each other. They are at least two hundred years old. They are the most important symbol of Lingshan Temple.
