Hualin Temple, Buddhist temple in Guangzhou, China.
The temple complex contains multiple halls dedicated to Buddhist teachings, with traditional Chinese architectural features including wood carvings and detailed eaves decorations.
Emperor Wu of the Liang dynasty established Hualin Temple as Xilai Monastery in the 520s AD, and Zen master Zongfu renamed it to its current name in 1655.
Local Buddhist ceremonies take place regularly in the temple halls, where monks perform rituals that maintain centuries-old religious traditions of southern China.
The temple stands near Hualinsi metro station in Guangzhou, making it easily reachable for visitors who want to explore the Buddhist heritage of the region.
The temple formerly displayed 500 arhat statues and a Gilded Ashoka Pagoda, which were destroyed during the Cultural Revolution of the twentieth century.
