Línggu Sì is a significant temple located on Purple Mountain near Nanjing, China. It forms one of the three main attractions within the Zijin Mountain Scenic Area, alongside the Sun Yat-Sen Mausoleum and the Ming Tombs. While functioning as an active place of worship for locals, the temple has become increasingly commercialized.
