Yunmen Temple

The temple complex extends across 50,000 square meters and contains multiple structures including Shanmen, Temple of Heavenly Kings, and Daxiong Palace.

Master Hsu Yun initiated a major reconstruction project in 1943, adding over 300 buildings and 100 Buddha statues to restore the temple's grandeur.

The temple serves as the birthplace of the Yunmen school, one of the five principal schools of Chan Buddhism in Chinese religious tradition.

Visitors can reach the temple by taking a high-speed rail to Shaoguan City followed by local transportation, with operating hours from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM.

During the renovation period between 1943 and 1951, the temple maintained the architectural principles of the Qing dynasty while incorporating new structures.
