Shibaozhai, Temple complex on a hill by the Yangtze in Zhong County, Chongqing, China

Shibaozhai is a temple complex in Zhong County featuring a striking red wooden pavilion that rises 12 stories against a 200-meter rocky hill along the Yangtze River. The site links the hilltop temple with the impressive wooden structure through stairs and passages that connect the different levels.

A temple was first built on the summit in the early Qianlong reign (1730s–1740s), reached by iron chains fixed to the cliff. In 1819, during the Jiaqing reign, a nine-storey wooden pavilion was added against the rock face to provide access. Three more storeys were added in 1956, bringing the tower to twelve, and the site was listed as a Major Historical and Cultural Site Protected at the National Level in 2001.

The name Shibaozhai means "Precious Stone Fortress": legend says the rock is a five-coloured stone left over from Nüwa's repair of the sky, and in the late Ming rebel Tan Hong occupied the hill and called it a fortress. The hilltop hall, the Purple Rain Pavilion, is dedicated to Manjusri.

The complex is accessible through a protective wall built to shield it from flooding caused by the Three Gorges Dam reservoir. Visitors should expect a steep climb with multiple flights of stairs, as both the pavilion and hilltop temple require ascending through several levels.

The name Shibaozhai means "Precious Stone Fortress": legend holds the rock is a five-coloured stone left over from Nüwa's repair of the sky, and its seal-like shape earned it the name Yuyin Shan, "Jade Seal Hill". In the late Ming, the rebel Tan Hong occupied the hill and called it a fortress, giving the site its present name.
