Daming temple, Buddhist temple in Yangzhou, China

Daming Temple extends across three sections on Shugang Mountain, featuring the central temple buildings, east Xiling Pagoda, and west garden layout.

The temple dates from 453 AD during the Liu Song dynasty, with Emperor Wen Yang Jian ordering the construction of Qi Ling Tower in 601 AD.

The Memorial Hall houses a dry-lacquered statue of monk Jianzhen, who initiated Buddhist teachings here in 742 AD before departing for Japan.

The temple complex opens daily with convenient access via bus routes 25 and sightseeing express services from Yangzhou transportation stations.

The entrance features stone lions crafted to royal garden specifications, originating from the ancient Yangzhou Chongning Temple period.
