Xilin Temple

The temple compound includes structures such as the Four Heavenly Kings Hall and the Thousand Buddha Pagoda, which reaches 46 meters in height.

Following complete destruction during the Taiping Rebellion in 1854, the temple remained in ruins until a reconstruction project began in 1989.

The temple site influenced Song dynasty poet Su Shi, who created a poem about it that later became part of Chinese school curriculum.

The temple grounds provide designated areas for Buddhist ceremonies, meditation sessions, and religious education programs throughout the calendar year.

The Thousand Buddha Pagoda contains seven distinct levels, each displaying specific architectural elements from the Tang dynasty period.
