Shuxiang Temple, Buddhist temple in Mount Wutai, China
The Shuxiang Temple encompasses 6,400 square meters with more than 50 halls and structures featuring traditional Chinese architectural elements and design principles.
The temple originated during the East Jin dynasty and underwent substantial reconstructions during the Tang, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, with major renovations in 1325 and 1496.
