Guangren Temple, Tibetan Buddhist temple in Lianhu District, Xi'an, China

Guangren Temple is a Tibetan Buddhist temple in Lianhu District, Xi'an, facing south along a central axis. Its buildings include the Shanmen gate, the Guanyin Hall (9.7 m wide, 6.8 m deep, with a single-eave gable-and-hip roof), and the Hufa Jingang Hall, which houses statues of Yamantaka, Mahakala, Yama Dharmaraja, and Palden Lhamo.

Construction began in 1703 on the order of the Kangxi Emperor and was completed in 1705, creating a Tibetan Buddhist temple where leaders from Tibet, Qinghai and Gansu could stay and worship en route to audiences in Beijing. After 1911 it served as a local government office; in 1931 the abbot's room was bombed and rebuilt by Yang Hucheng. In 1952 the state funded renovation, and in 1983 the State Council named it a National Key Buddhist Temple in Han Chinese Area.

The temple functions as an active place of worship where visitors and monks perform daily prayers and rituals among the halls. The ongoing religious practice reflects how this space continues to serve as a spiritual center for the local community.

The temple sits near Xi'an's City Wall and is easily reached by local buses or Metro Line 1. Entry is free and daytime visits are welcome for those wanting to explore the grounds.

The Guanyin Hall, not the main hall, holds the Thousand-Handed and Thousand-Eyed Guanyin, flanked by Maitreya Buddha, Skanda and the Four Heavenly Kings. The hall measures 9.7 by 6.8 metres under a single-eave gable-and-hip roof, and its central plaque bears the temple name in the calligraphy of Zhao Puchu, former head of the Buddhist Association of China.
