Guiyuan Temple, Buddhist temple in Hanyang district, Wuhan, China

The temple complex spans 4.67 acres with five courtyards, gardens, halls, and a rectangular pond where turtles swim next to metal lotus flowers.

The temple construction began under Buddhist monk Bai Guang and reached completion in 1658, making it the oldest Buddhist temple in Hubei Province.

The temple maintains its position as a National Key Buddhist Temple, serving as a center for religious ceremonies and traditional practices in the region.

Located at 20 Cuiweiheng Lu in Wuhan, the temple offers vegetarian meals at the Yunjizhai restaurant and remains open for both worshippers and visitors.

The Arhat Hall houses 500 individually crafted gold-painted wooden statues of Buddhist saints, created by two sculptors over a nine-year period.
