Jinge Temple, Buddhist temple on Mount Wutai, Shanxi Province, China.
Located between the South and Central Peaks of Mount Wutai, Jinge Temple stands at an elevation of 1,900 meters, positioned 15 kilometers from Taihuai town.
The temple, founded in 766 AD by Shi Hanguang during the Tang Dynasty, maintains strong connections with the Buddhist master Amoghavajra, who advanced Vajrayana teachings.
The Grand Hall contains five rooms devoted to three principal Buddhas - Sakyamuni, Medicine Guru, and Amitabha - with 18 arhats flanking the central altar.
The temple complex houses over 1,000 Buddhist statues within its halls, making it the temple with the most Buddhist figures across Mount Wutai's religious sites.
A 17-meter bronze Avalokitesvara statue with 48 arms, cast during the Ming Dynasty's Jiajing period, stands as the tallest Buddha figure on Mount Wutai.
