Yuanming Jiangtang, Buddhist temple in Jing'an District, China.
The temple features traditional Chinese architecture with curved roofs, wooden carvings, enclosed courtyards, and symmetrical design elements throughout its multiple halls and structures.
Yuan Ying, the first Venerable Master of the Buddhist Association of China, established Yuanming Jiangtang in 1934 as a center for Pure Land Buddhism teachings.
The temple maintains several halls dedicated to different purposes, including the Yuanming Lecture Room, Hall of Guanyin, Memorial Hall of Yuan Ying, and Buddhist Texts Library.
The temple operates regular educational programs through its Buddhist seminary, Hualin Buddhist Seminary, which was established in 2000 in collaboration with Longhua Temple monastery.
During the Cultural Revolution of 1966, the temple experienced transformation into a factory and later received recognition as a National Key Buddhist Temple in 1983.
