Geyuan Temple, Buddhist temple in Laiyuan County, China
The temple features three main buildings: the Wenshu Hall, a multi-story sutra pavilion, and the Tianwang Hall, with structures facing west rather than along a central axis.
Originally constructed during the Han Dynasty and rebuilt in the Tang Dynasty, the temple's Wenshu Hall dates from 966 CE during the Liao Dynasty period.
The temple maintains traditional Buddhist ceremonies and serves as a center for meditation, attracting both local followers and visitors interested in religious practices.
The temple receives visitors daily, with guided tours available to explore the architectural elements, including the original 10th-century latticework on the Wenshu Hall doors.
The square Wenshu Hall measures 15 by 15.67 meters, incorporating specific architectural features such as six rafters and two interior pillars supporting the beams.
