Xichan Temple, Buddhist temple in Gulou District, Fuzhou, China
Xichan Temple spreads across 7.7 hectares on Mount Yi slope, featuring 36 halls arranged in a south-north orientation and hundreds of litchi trees throughout its grounds.
The temple, established in 867 during the Tang Dynasty, underwent multiple reconstructions during the Song and Qing Dynasties after surviving natural disasters and conflicts.
The temple maintains international connections through overseas branches, including religious centers in Singapore and Vietnam, while preserving traditional Buddhist practices and ceremonies.
Located 1.5 kilometers west of Fuzhou city center, the temple complex includes the Mahavira Hall, Dharma Hall, and Hall of Four Heavenly Kings for visitors to explore.
The temple houses China's largest jade Buddha statue and contains a millennium-old litchi tree planted by Abbot Hui Ji that continues to thrive within its grounds.
