Luohou Temple, Buddhist temple in Taihuai Town, Wutai County, China.
The temple complex spans 15,700 square meters with six courtyards, more than 100 rooms, and 16 halls arranged in traditional Chinese architecture.
Founded during the Tang Dynasty between 618 and 907, the temple underwent major reconstruction in 1492 and transformed into a Tibetan Buddhist center in 1705.
The temple houses statues of the Four Heavenly Kings, who guard Buddhist teachings from cardinal directions, and features ancient Tang Dynasty stone lions.
Visitors can explore the Buddhist Texts Library, dining facilities, and multiple ceremonial halls containing religious artifacts and architectural elements.
A mechanical 3-meter wooden lotus in the Buddhist Sutras hall opens to reveal four golden Amitabha statues positioned back-to-back.
