Zhusheng Temple, Buddhist temple at Mount Heng, Hunan, China

Zhusheng Temple stands at the base of Mount Heng, featuring multiple halls with traditional Chinese architectural elements and religious statues throughout its grounds.

Originally built as Mituotai during the Tang dynasty by Pure Land Buddhism master Chengyuan, the temple received its current name from Emperor Yongzheng in 1727.

The temple maintains a Buddhist institute established in 1929, continuing its role as a center for religious education and traditional practices.

Visitors can explore several structures including the Shanmen entrance gate, Four Heavenly Kings Hall, and Mahavira Hall containing Buddhist sculptures and wall paintings.

The temple walls display three significant plaques with inscriptions from prominent figures Sun Yat-sen, Liang Qichao, and Zhao Puchu.
