 Beside the pond are the "Yuleguo (fish's paradise)" stele () inscribed by Dong Qichang, a famous calligrapher of the Ming dynasty (1368–1644), and an imperial monument from the Qianlong Emperor respectively.When renovating Guoqing Temple, the workers transported ten black carp from Linghu Nuresery (), Jiaxing, Zhejiang, reproducing the vitality of fish's paradise.During the renovation, an ancient prune tree which was planted in the Sui dynasty (581–618) over 1300 years ago in Guoqing Temple came back to life miraculously, which added a charming landscape to the temple.
