Before you go looking for Father Christmas at Santa Temple, neighbouring Xiantong Temple to the west of Taihuai, you should know the name actually means Three Pagodas Temple. The 'pagodas' here are actually three stupa. The complex was originally raised in the Ming dynasty by an eminent monk of Zen Buddhism. The most recent restoration took place in the 1980s.
