Fengguo Temple, Buddhist temple in Yi County, China

The temple spreads across 60,000 square meters and features a monumental Mahavira Hall measuring 55.8 by 25.9 meters on a three-meter-high platform.

Built in 1020 during the Liao Dynasty, the temple underwent seventeen repairs between 1487 and 1888, including restoration after an earthquake in 1290.

The main hall contains seven large Buddha sculptures from past ages, each positioned in separate bays with attendant bodhisattvas and guardian kings.

The temple complex maintains two halls, two gates, and a decorative arch, with the Mahavira Hall serving as the principal structure for visitors.

Fengguo Temple houses what experts consider the world's oldest and largest collection of painted clay Buddha sculptures from ancient China.
