I'd like to say that I have never called anything a tourist trap thus far in China. These are the two most famous parts of the Song Shan park, and they aren't particularly grand. If this is the first Chinese temple or pagoda you've seen then they will be interesting. If you have seen others in China, nothing seperates these from others. The setting and the history is the only thing that seperates them.
Unique Suggestions: Still go. Don't not go. Just don't expect these two to be what will occupy your time or interest. See a Kung Fu show also. Maybe go up a mountain (hike or chairlift).
