Kaiyuan Temple, Buddhist temple in Xiangqiao District, Chaozhou, China
The temple complex contains multiple halls aligned along a central axis, including the Mahavira Hall which displays numerous religious statues and artifacts.
Founded in 738 during Tang Dynasty Emperor Xuanzong's reign as Lifeng Temple, the structure underwent several name changes before becoming Kaiyuan Temple.
The Mahavira Hall contains statues of Sakyamuni, Amitabha, and Bhaisajyaguru, with eighteen Arhats positioned on both sides of the main altar.
After extensive reconstruction in the 1980s, the temple received recognition as a National Key Buddhist Temple and continues to function as an active religious center.
The temple houses a rare bronze bell from 1114, measuring 1.7 meters in height and weighing more than 1,500 kilograms.
