Lingyin Temple was restored and rebuilt on the basis of reconstruction in the late Qing Dynasty. The temple covers an area of about 87,000 square meters, and Lingyin Scenic Area covers an area of about 2.577 million square meters. The layout of Lingyin Temple is similar to that of Jiangnan Temple. The central axis of the whole temple building is divided into three main halls: Tianwang Hall, Daxiong Hall and Pharmacist Hall.

The overall planning of Lingyin Temple is to form a five-story pattern along the central axis. On the site of the original Luohantang, 500 Luohantang halls will be rebuilt, 500 bronze arhats with an average height of 1.7 meters will be displayed, and four bronze halls with a height of 12.6 meters will be built in the center of the hall, covering an area of about 87,000 square meters.

In addition, each entrance hall has a spacious platform to beautify the environment of the ancient temple. Large-scale heart sutra walls and sculptures of hundreds of lions have been built one after another, and there is a cold spring in the northwest of the Five Hundred Arhats Hall. Rockery and rocks formed a natural waterfall, and a "Youde Pavilion" was built next to the pool to commemorate the rejuvenation of the spirit in the early Qing Dynasty.
