Wenshu Monastery, Buddhist monastery in Qingyang District, China
Located in downtown Chengdu, Wenshu Monastery spans over 200,000 square meters with 190 halls and rooms featuring classical Qing Dynasty architecture.
Initially constructed during the Southern Dynasties period between 420-589, the monastery underwent reconstruction in 1697 during Emperor Kangxi's reign of the Qing Dynasty.
The monastery houses 300 Buddhist statues made from iron, stone, wood, and jade, including sutras written in blood and a parietal bone of monk Xuanzang.
The monastery opens daily from 09:00 to 17:00, with entry tickets costing CNY5, and visitors can access it via subway Line 1 at Wenshu Yuan station.
The temple received its current name after monk Cidu, whose death in 1681 generated reports of a Manjushri image appearing in the sky above.
