Bailin Temple, Buddhist temple in Zhao County, China

The Bailin Temple features an octagonal brick pagoda rising 40 meters high with seven tiers of eaves and detailed carvings on its pedestal.

Originally established in the second century CE as Guan Yin Monastery, the temple gained prominence during the Tang Dynasty through Chan Master Zhaozhou's teachings.

The temple preserves China's complete collection of woodblock prints of the Tibetan Dragon Sutra, representing an extensive encyclopedia of Buddhist knowledge.

The temple complex includes five courtyards arranged along a central axis, containing the main gate, multiple halls, and side buildings on elevated brick foundations.

A bronze bell from 1707 measuring 2.6 meters with dragon motifs and scripture engravings remains preserved in the eastern side hall.
