Anchan Temple, Buddhist temple in Taigu County, China

The Anchan Temple contains two remaining structures: a sutra repository dating from the Song Dynasty and a main hall from the Ming Dynasty.

The temple underwent multiple renovations throughout different dynasties, with the final restoration completed in 1877 during the Qing Guangxu reign period.

The temple's architectural design incorporates traditional Buddhist elements, featuring a north-south orientation with the main entrance facing south across 200 square meters.

Located on Anchansi Street in central Taigu County, the temple maintains protection status as a Major Historical and Cultural Site at the National Level.

The sutra repository represents one of the few remaining Song Dynasty religious buildings in Shanxi Province, preserving ancient Buddhist manuscripts.
