One good day trip from Meizhou is 50km east to Yinna Shan , sanctified by the elderly temple of Lingguang Si . You need to start early, as, unless your hotel can organize you a private jeep and driver (Y300), getting there and back is time-consuming. Take a minibus from the roundabout immediately south of the Dongshan Bridge to either Sanxiang or Yanyang , two villages in lush rice-growing country on Yinna Shan's eastern side, then hire a tractor for the 7km or so to the walking track leading up to the temple (30min). Last minibuses back are in the mid-afternoon. Lingguang Si was founded in 861, though the present buildings are restored Qing. There are two thousand-year-old trees either side of the gate (a third died 300 years ago), and an extremely unusual wooden spiral ceiling in the main hall, the only other example being in a temple on Wudang Shan in Hubei Province
