Guangxiao Temple, Buddhist temple in Chengxiang District, China
The Guangxiao Temple features a large double-eaved main hall housing a 10-meter-tall Buddha statue and traditional Chinese architectural elements throughout its grounds.
The temple site dates back to 233 when Yu Fan's family donated their estate to establish the Zhizhi Temple, which later became the Guangxiao Temple.
The temple functions as a center for Buddhist learning, where monks translate sacred texts and conduct religious ceremonies following Chinese Buddhist traditions.
Visitors can access the temple through multiple transportation options and explore its various halls, pagodas, and religious artifacts during regular opening hours.
Two iron pagodas from the Southern Han dynasty stand behind the Mahavira Hall, representing some of the oldest existing iron towers in China.
