Wuyou Temple, Buddhist temple at Mount Wuyou in Shizhong District, China.

The temple complex contains multiple halls, including a Mahavira Hall with statues of Three Saints of Hua-yan and a Hall of Arhat housing 500 Buddhist figures.

Founded as Zhengjue Temple during the Tang Dynasty by master Huijing, the structure became Wuyou Temple in the Song Dynasty and underwent several reconstructions.

The Hall of Maitreya displays a 5-meter gilded statue of Maitreya surrounded by 48 statues representing Buddhist aspirations and teachings.

Located approximately 40 minutes by foot from Leshan Giant Buddha, the temple requires visitors to climb numerous stairs through an old fishing village.

From Erya Terrace and Jingyun Pavilion, visitors can observe panoramic views of Mount Le and the meeting point of three different rivers.
