Shuanggui Hall is said to have been built during the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty.

Shuangguitang is located 10 kilometers southwest of Liangping County, hidden deep in Wanzhu Mountain in Shuanggui Village, Jindai Town. This is an ancient temple with a profound history. Its name comes from the two osmanthus trees in the courtyard. According to historical records, the founder of the ancient temple, Master Poshan, was the leader of the Zen sect of Southwestern Buddhism, so Shuangguitang is also respected as the "ancestral temple of the Zen sect of Southwestern Buddhism", "the head of the southwestern forests", "the first Zen forest", and "the giant of the sect", which shows that it was once glorious in history. Although it has gone through hundreds of years of wind and rain, the magnificent scale and grandeur of Shuanggui Hall can still be felt from the remaining halls such as Guansheng Hall, Maitreya Hall, Great Hero Hall, Manjusri Hall, Poshan Pagoda, Great Compassion Hall and Sutra Library. What is more interesting is its layout, which is symmetrically distributed along the central axis, with winding corridors and alleys, long pavilions and short terraces, and the corridors and alleys are closely connected, which is fascinating. Not far from Shuanggui Hall is Shuanggui Lake, a park with clear water and green banks, which retains the original natural features of the wetland. Looking out from the lakeside, you can see the beautiful scenery of the vast waves and the lake and sky merging into one. If you stay here quietly for a while, you can also see a few pairs of birds flying across the sparkling lake, leaving behind a dreamy shadow. .
