There are also the Health Hall, Qi Gathering Field, and Pheasant Soup Pavilion, which display the three secrets of Pengzu's longevity. Additionally, there are the ingeniously designed Qishan Twin Buddhas. Built against the mountain, one of the Qishan Twin Buddhas stands while the other sits, both with clever designs.
