Baoguang Temple, Buddhist temple in Xindu district, Chengdu, China

The temple complex spreads across 100,000 square meters, containing more than 400 stone pillars and multiple halls arranged along a central axis.

The temple dates from the Tang Dynasty but underwent reconstruction during the Qing Dynasty after its destruction in the Ming period.

The Arhat Hall houses 500 clay statues of Buddhist disciples, each standing two meters tall, representing different poses and expressions.

Visitors can reach the temple by taking bus 651 from Wukuaishi Bus Station in Chengdu, with the journey lasting approximately 90 minutes.

The thirteen-story Sharira Stupa, constructed between 862 and 888, features copper bells and gold-plated Buddha images on each level.
