Jianfu Temple, Buddhist temple in Beilin District, China
The temple complex includes several buildings such as the Mahavira Hall, Cishi Pavilion, and Depository of Buddhist Sutras, along with the Small Wild Goose Pagoda.
Originally named Xianfu Temple in 684, this religious site transformed into a Translation Institute of Buddhist Scriptures in 706 under Emperor Zhongzong's reign.
The temple served as one of China's three primary translation centers for Buddhist texts, where monk Yi Jing translated 108 volumes between 706 and 713.
Located in the northwest section of Xi'an Museum on West Youyi Road, visitors can reach the temple through multiple bus routes or Metro Line 2.
A massive iron bell from 1192, weighing 10 tons and standing 3.5 meters tall, was recovered from the Weihe River after centuries underwater.
