Gaoli Temple, Buddhist temple near West Lake, Hangzhou, China
The temple stands between Chishan Port and Yucen Hill, featuring traditional Chinese architectural elements across its 15,000 square meters of grounds.
Founded in 927, the temple gained its name from a Korean prince who studied Buddhism there in 1085 and contributed religious texts and platinum.
