Youmin Temple, Buddhist temple in Donghu District, Nanchang, China

Youmin Temple is a Buddhist sanctuary in Donghu District featuring traditional yellow walls and red pillars, located at 181 Minde Road. The complex comprises multiple halls including the Shanmen gate and the Hall of Heavenly Kings, which form the spiritual core of the site.

This sanctuary originated during the Southern Dynasties period and expanded significantly during the Tang Dynasty into a major complex. Today the visible structure represents only a fraction of what once stood on these grounds.

The temple's name, adopted after the 1929 restoration funded by layman Yao Guomei, means "protecting the people"; Yao also opened a clinic in the right-hand room of the gate, using his fees to support the temple's incense. The left-hand room housed a Buddhist scripture distribution point, and the lay Buddhist society Jueji Nianfo Lin was founded in the chanting hall.

The temple stands on the east bank of Donghu Lake, just north of Bayi Park, at 181 Minde Road in Donghu District. Dress modestly and follow the posted rules of the active Buddhist temple. The bell tower holds the surviving bronze bell of the Nanchang Three Treasures, cast in the Southern Tang period and weighing 10,064 jin.

The temple's bell tower holds the only survivor of Nanchang's "Three Treasures": a bronze bell cast in the Southern Tang dynasty, weighing 10,064 jin. The other two, the temple's bronze Buddha and Puxian Temple's iron elephant, were destroyed; the 1995 bronze Buddha is a recasting.
