Jiming Temple, (Jiming si) situated in the east of the city, is an ancient city Buddhist temple with a long history.

During the Three Kingdoms Period, this site was an official garden belonging to the Wu State. A Temple was first built on the site in 527 during the Liang Dynasty. This original temple was destroyed and renovated many times until 1387, the 20th year of the Ming Emperor Hong Wu, when the present Jiming Temple was constructed. Nearby this pretty little active temple, is a Rouge Well, so called because the Emperor's concubine used to clean the well with her handkerchief and leave the stain of her rouge behind. The Temple and the Rouge Well are nearby to Xuanwu Lake, in the northeast of the city.
