The temple, the forecourt, the palace hall, and the garden are totally accounted for 60 thousand level ground and built grandly.
The terrain names Nankunshen. Kunshen means the body of Kun. The shapes of sand dunes that distribute along the southwest shore look like the body of Kun. Thus Wufu Ciansuei named it as Nankunshen.
