Yunju Temple, Buddhist temple in Shuitou, China
The Yunju Temple consists of six halls arranged east to west, containing more than 22,000 scrolls of Buddhist scriptures and twelve ancient pagodas.
During the Sui Dynasty in 611 CE, monk Jingwan initiated the engraving of Buddhist texts on stone steles, establishing a tradition lasting until 1691.
The temple holds the world's largest collection of stone Buddhist sutra steles, including rare copies of the Ming Dynasty Yongle Southern and Northern Tripitakas.
The temple opens from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM in summer and 4:30 PM in winter, with separate admission fees for the temple and Stone-Carved Sutra sections.
Nine Stone-Carved Sutra storage caves contain 14,277 stone carvings, representing the most extensive repository of stone-carved Buddhist texts in China.
