Wannian Temple, Buddhist temple at Mount Emei, Sichuan, China

The temple complex includes the Beamless Brick Hall, measuring 17 meters high and featuring a bronze statue of Samantabhadra weighing 62 tons.

Founded between 397 and 401 CE as Puxian Temple, it received its current name in 1601 when Emperor Shenzong honored his mother's 70th birthday.

The temple preserves three important artifacts: a Buddhist tooth relic, a Sanskrit palm leaf scripture from Thailand, and an imperial seal from Ming Dynasty.

Located 15 kilometers from Baoguo Temple at 1,020 meters altitude, visitors can access the temple through an eco-bus service from the Tourist Center.

The Beamless Brick Hall stands without wooden support, featuring a semicircular dome decorated with four figures holding traditional Chinese instruments.
