Qingzhou Longxing Temple

The excavation site contains over 400 Buddhist statues, which represent artistic achievements of Northern and Southern dynasties religious sculpture art.

The temple complex, constructed during the Northern and Southern dynasties period, remained active for 800 years before its eventual destruction.

The discovered collection of Buddhist statues demonstrates the development of religious art techniques and spiritual practices in ancient China.

Numerous artifacts from the temple excavation are now exhibited at the Shenzhen Museum, where visitors can examine the detailed craftsmanship.

The site's rediscovery occurred in 1996 during construction work on a school sports field, leading to extensive archaeological investigations.
