Wubian Temple, Religious heritage site in Taigu District, China

Wubian Temple is a Buddhist temple complex at 10 Nansi Street in the old town of Taigu District, Jinzhong, Shanxi. It faces south and covers 3,960 square metres in three courtyards. On the central axis stand the mountain gate with an inverted stage, the Siming Pavilion, the White Tower, the Heavenly King Hall and the Mahavira Hall, flanked by side halls, a stele corridor and a scripture library.

Founded in 272, the eighth year of the Western Jin Taishi era, the temple was rebuilt between 1064 and 1067 under the Northern Song and renamed Puci Temple. In 1090 the White Pagoda was added; after a Tongzhi-era fire left only the pagoda standing, it was rebuilt from 1904 to 1906 and regained the name Wubian Temple.

The temple's name, Wubian, means "boundless." Its three-courtyard layout places a stage for inverted performances opposite the mountain gate, a Four Brightness Pavilion before the White Tower, and Guanyin and Ksitigarbha halls on the east and west sides. The White Tower, built in 1090, is a hollow octagonal brick tower with seven outer and nine inner levels, 43 meters tall, with wooden stairs inside.

The complex is accessible through local transportation connections in Taigu District. Visitors should expect uneven ground in courtyards and wear appropriate footwear for walking through the site.

The White Pagoda inside the temple is the oldest surviving structure, built in 1090 during the Yuanyou era of the Northern Song. It is a hollow, pavilion-style brick tower on an octagonal plan, 43 m tall, with seven outer and nine inner storeys and a wooden staircase inside.
