Fayu Temple, Buddhist temple on Mount Putuo, Zhejiang, China.

The Fayu Temple complex extends across 33,000 square meters, containing 294 halls and rooms with traditional Chinese architectural elements throughout the structures.

Established in 1699 during the Qing Dynasty, the temple received its current name through a plaque bestowed by Emperor Kangxi after extensive renovations.

The Hall of Guanyin houses an extraordinary bluestone wall with dragon carvings transferred from the Forbidden City, representing imperial craftsmanship.

Visitors can access multiple meditation spaces, prayer halls, and ceremonial areas within the temple grounds, which span 9,300 square meters of built structures.

The temple entrance features a double-eaved pavilion with southeast orientation, displaying a distinctive plaque that reads Heavenly Flowers Colorful Rain.
