Guangji Temple, Buddhist temple in Mount Wutai, China

Guangji Temple is a Yuan-dynasty Buddhist hall in Dongmi Market Street, Taicheng Town, Wutai County, Shanxi. Its surviving Great Buddha Hall (Daxiong Baodian) is five bays wide and three deep under a single-eave overhanging gable roof. Inside are Yuan clay statues of one Buddha, two bodhisattvas, three great beings and eighteen arhats; a Tang scripture pillar stands in front.

Guangji Temple was founded during the Zhizheng era of the Yuan dynasty (1330–1332). The surviving Great Buddha Hall dates from that period, while a Tang-dynasty scripture pillar stands in front of it. In 2001 the hall was listed in the fifth batch of Major Historical and Cultural Sites Protected at the National Level.

The temple serves as a major pilgrimage destination where visitors encounter local and traveling devotees who come to honor Buddhist teachings. The site reflects centuries of spiritual practice that have made Mount Wutai sacred to followers across East Asia.

Guangji Temple stands on Dongmi Market Street in Taicheng Town, Wutai County, not on Mount Wutai itself. The surviving Great Buddha Hall is a single five-bay hall entered from the street front, with a Tang dynasty scripture pillar standing in front of it. The hall now houses the Wutai County Museum and the county cultural relics office, so check opening arrangements before setting out.

The temple stands on Dongmi Market Street in Taicheng Town, not on Mount Wutai, and now houses the Wutai County Museum and the Wutai County Cultural Relics Management Office. A Tang dynasty scripture pillar stands in front of the hall, older than the Yuan building behind it.
