Bao'en Temple, Buddhist temple in Pingwu County, China

The Bao'en Temple complex includes multiple halls, pavilions, and courtyards connected by galleries along a central axis in northwestern Sichuan Province.

Wang Xi, a local chieftain, constructed the temple between 1440 and 1446 during the Ming Dynasty under Emperor Yingzong's reign.

The temple contains numerous Ming period sculptures, paintings, murals, and a wooden Avalokitesvara statue that represents Buddhist artistic traditions.

The temple complex features 48 different types of dougong bracket systems, with 2,200 sets supporting and decorating the structures throughout the buildings.

Inside Huayan Hall stands an octagonal wooden revolving sutra cabinet that maintains smooth operation to this day.
