A five-hole bridge, 38 meters long and 7 meters wide. The above buildings are all made of white marble and are well preserved. The garden bed and existing cultural relics have been listed as key cultural relics protection units in Hebei Province and included in the "Dictionary of Chinese Scenic Spots." In May of the eighth year of Yongzheng (AD 1730), Yongzheng's most beloved , Prince Yi Yinxiang, the thirteenth younger brother of the emperor who relied most on him, passed away. Yongzheng was so distraught that he attended his funeral in person and stayed out of court for three days to mourn.
He was given the posthumous title of "Xian" and was granted the title of "Xian". The imperial edict ordered that Prince Yi's name should remain the original "Yinxiang" in the book to express his longing for him. It was ordered that the eight characters of the imperial book be added to the posthumous title. He was buried in an honorable manner and built an ancestral temple on Dongshuncheng Street inside Zhengyang Gate of Baijiatuan in the west of Beijing. He changed his residence into Xianliang Temple to pray for the blessings of the underworld. He was very kind to Prince Yi Yunxiang, and he was sympathetic to the life and death of his brothers and sisters. He was successively praised as "a wise king who has never been so loyal to the country since ancient times". During the Qianlong period, he was also designated as the hereditary "Iron Hat King". It can be seen that the relationship between Yongzheng and Yinxiang goes far beyond the ordinary relationship between monarch and minister, let alone the relationship between ordinary brothers and princes.
