Chongyuan Temple, Buddhist temple near Yangcheng Lake in Suzhou Industrial Park, China.
The temple complex spans over 200,000 square meters and features a 38-meter-high main hall with intricate architectural details and extensive gardens.
Founded in 503 during the Liang Dynasty, the temple changed its name from Chongxuan to Chongyuan during the Qing Dynasty to avoid using the emperor's personal name.
The temple holds annual Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations where visitors participate in prayers and watch performances of Kunqu Opera and traditional Chinese music.
Visitors can reach the temple using bus routes 109, 126, 128, or 169, with designated stops at Chongyuansi and surrounding areas.
The main hall contains a 33-meter gilded bronze Guanyin statue, making it the largest indoor Buddhist statue in China.
