Daxingshan Temple, Buddhist temple in Yanta District, Xi'an, China
The temple features multiple halls aligned along a central axis, including the Shanmen, Four Heavenly Kings Hall, Mahavira Hall, and Guanyin Hall.
Founded in 266 by Emperor Wu of Western Jin dynasty as Zunshan Temple, this religious complex became a central site for Buddhist sutra translations during Tang dynasty.
Three distinguished monks - Śubhakarasiṃha, Vajrabodhi, and Amoghavajra - contributed to establishing the temple as a center of Chinese Esoteric Buddhism.
Located near Xiaozhai business district, visitors can access the temple via Xiaozhai Station of Metro Lines 2 and 3 or bus routes 215, 19, 616, and 600.
The Guanyin Hall contains a Ming dynasty wood-carved statue of Thousand Armed and Eyed Guanyin, while ancient cypress trees surround the temple grounds.
