Puning Temple, Buddhist temple in Chengde, China

The temple covers 23,000 square meters and includes several structures such as the Hall of Great Buddha, Imperial Stele Pavilion, and Mahayana Hall.

Emperor Qianlong ordered the construction of Puning Temple in 1755 following military campaigns against the Dzungar people in the northwestern regions.

The temple architecture combines Chinese elements in the front section with Tibetan structural designs throughout the rest of the complex.

Admission prices vary seasonally, with rates of 60 yuan from November through March and 80 yuan from April through October.

The temple houses a 22.28-meter wooden statue of Bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara, crafted from five different types of wood including pine, cypress, and elm.
