Daxiangguo Temple, Buddhist temple in central Kaifeng, China

The temple compound contains multiple halls, including the Mahavira Hall with three Buddha statues and a remarkable octagonal pavilion housing a wooden Guanyin statue.

Originally built as a residence during the Warring States period, the temple reached its peak during the Northern Song Dynasty with 64 Chan and Vinaya halls.

The temple functions as a center for Buddhist ceremonies, religious education, and meditation practices, maintaining traditional Chinese Buddhist customs and rituals.

The temple grants free admission to children under 1.2 meters and seniors over 70 years old with valid identification throughout November 2024.

The temple houses a thousand-armed Guanyin statue carved from a single ginkgo tree trunk, requiring 58 years to complete.
