Nantai Temple, Buddhist temple on Mount Heng, Hunan, China.
The temple buildings follow traditional Chinese design patterns, featuring multiple halls with curved roofs and stone staircases across different elevation levels.
Founded during the Liang dynasty between 502-557 by Master Haiyin, the temple underwent several reconstructions including major restorations after the Cultural Revolution.
Nantai Temple functions as the ancestral temple for three Buddhist schools: Caodong, Fayan, and Yunmen, maintaining their teachings and practices.
The temple offers meditation sessions, guided tours, and religious ceremonies, with public transportation access available from Hengyang city center.
In 1907, the temple received thousands of Buddhist scriptures and palm leaf manuscripts from a Japanese monk, establishing its substantial religious library.
