Dahui Temple, Buddhist temple in Haidian District, China
Dahui Temple is a Buddhist temple in Haidian District that houses twenty-eight large colored statues of Buddhist deities spread throughout its halls and courtyards. These figures stand over ten feet (three meters) tall and dominate the appearance of the inner spaces.
Construction of the temple began in 1513 during the Ming Dynasty. Major restoration work occurred in 1757 to preserve its architectural features.

The statues date to the Ming Dynasty and display intricate carvings and religious symbolism in their design. Each figure showcases detailed craftsmanship that reflects the artistic skill of that historical period.
