Tiantong Temple, Buddhist temple in Yinzhou District, China
The temple rises along the slopes of Taibai Mountain with 730 Ming Dynasty style buildings connected by covered corridors and spread across 76,400 square meters.
Founded in 300 AD by monk Yixing during the Jin Dynasty, the temple underwent multiple reconstructions and received imperial recognition as Tiantong Jingde Chan Temple in 1007.
The temple functions as the birthplace of Japanese Sōtō Buddhism and maintains strong connections with Buddhist communities throughout Southeast Asia.
Located 25 kilometers east of Ningbo City, visitors can explore the temple grounds through three entrance gates and follow tree-lined paths to various halls and pavilions.
The temple houses the Wangong Pool where turtles swim, and the Yingzhen Pavilion offers complete views of the temple complex and mountain landscape.
