Xiyuan Jiechuanglü Temple, Buddhist temple in Suzhou, China

Located on Liuyuan Road, Xiyuan Jiechuanglü Temple features several halls, including Jingang Hall, Guanyin Hall, and Arhat Hall, surrounding a central garden with ponds.

Originally built between 1264 and 1294 as Guiyuan Temple, the structure underwent reconstruction during the Qing Dynasty after suffering destruction in the Taiping Rebellion.

The temple houses 500 arhat statues within its Arhat Hall, alongside a prominent thousand-handed Guanyin statue, representing significant Buddhist religious figures.

The temple complex maintains regular opening hours for visitors and includes informative signage in multiple languages explaining the significance of different architectural elements.

The Life-Releasing Pond within the Western Garden contains Huxin Pavilion, connected to the shore by zigzag bridges, creating distinct viewing perspectives across the water.
