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.
