The origin of Hurn Lu Di The Hurn Lu Di or Nan Shi Jiao Mountain has an altitude of 302 meters and is located on the south edge of Zhong He District. The Nan Shan Fu De Temple was built by immigrants from Zhang Zhou. At the time, Nan Shi Jiao was still a wilderness. The temple was built to protect the land. The temple got its name because its back and both sides have mountain peaks that resemble a stove. The temple's Lu Tu Gong is very spiritual and became well known. As more people visit the temple, a road was built, making it a case of "a road built after a temple".
