Site of the only remaining Manicheaism temple in China.

The Cao'an Nunnery, built in 1148 on Huabiao Mountain, is perhaps the last remaining place on earth where Mani is worshipped by local villagers, and the sculpture of Mani, with his distinctive dreadlocks and aura, is now the emblem of the International Manichaeist Research Society.
