Kaishan Temple, Buddhist temple in Xincheng Town, China

The Mahavira Hall measures 30.4 by 18.5 meters, constructed on a stone platform with massive eaves supported by columns implanted into square bases.

Founded during the Tang dynasty, the temple's main hall dates to 1033 during the Liao period and functioned as both a school and granary in the 1900s.

The temple's devotional images include representations of Guanyin Buddha, four esoteric bodhisattvas, and luohans displayed along the hall's sides.

The temple underwent extensive restoration work between 2002 and 2007, returning the structure to its traditional architectural design and religious function.

The back and side pillars of the main hall tilt toward the interior, demonstrating an architectural technique characteristic of pre-Yuan dynasty construction methods.
