Gaomin Temple, Buddhist temple in Hanjiang District, Yangzhou, China.

The temple features five halls for worship, multiple pavilions, the imperial-style Daxiong Palace measuring 40 meters long, and an octagonal meditation hall with Buddha figures.

Originally constructed during the Sui Dynasty in 601 AD, the temple received its current name after Emperor Kangxi's fourth visit during the Qing Dynasty.

The meditation hall, known as 'sit incense', serves as a dedicated space where monks practice daily meditation measured by the burning time of incense sticks.

The temple opens daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with free admission and convenient access via bus route number 37 from central Yangzhou.

Located at the intersection of Sancha River, Yiyang River, and the ancient canal, the temple includes a tower that Emperor Kangxi climbed to observe the surroundings.
