Tafukuji Temple, Buddhist temple in Taiyuan, China.

Tafukuji Temple is a Buddhist complex in Taiyuan featuring multiple halls dedicated to different deities, built with traditional Chinese architectural styles and techniques. The structures display careful craftsmanship throughout, with detailed decorative elements visible in woodwork, stone carving, and interior ornamentation.

The temple was founded in 786, the second year of the Tang Zhenyuan era, and rebuilt during the Ming Hongwu period. In May 2006 it was listed in the sixth batch of Major Historical and Cultural Sites Protected at the National Level.

The temple is also known as Juewei Temple, after Juewei Mountain in northwest Taiyuan where it stands. In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties the scholar Fu Shan lived in seclusion here, a connection locals still point out.

The temple stands on Juewei Mountain northwest of Taiyuan, so reaching it means leaving the city centre and continuing up the mountain road; the final approach is on foot. The halls sit at different levels along the slope, with steps and uneven ground between them, so sturdy shoes help. Allow time for the climb and the walk through the complex.

The grounds contain multiple exhibition spaces displaying a large collection of religious sculptures and ancient carvings from the Ming period. These artworks are arranged throughout the site, offering visitors insight into the artistic standards and techniques of that era.
