千佛寺, Buddhist temple in Taiyuan, China.
The temple contains multiple halls and pavilions, including the Mahavira Hall and the Hall of Great Compassion measuring seven rooms wide and four deep.
Originally constructed during the Tang Dynasty as White Horse Temple, the structure underwent major restoration in 1381 under the direction of Zhu Gang.
The Hall of Great Compassion houses three Ming Dynasty statues, including an 8.5-meter-tall Thousand-armed Guanyin flanked by two Bodhisattvas.
The temple grounds extend across 140,000 square meters and function as the headquarters for the Buddhist Association of Shanxi Province.
Two Chinese guardian lions from 1391 and a 5,000-kilogram iron bell from 1506 remain preserved within the temple grounds.
