Xixiangchi‎, Buddhist temple on Mount Emei, China.

Xixiangchi Temple stands at 630 meters altitude on Mount Emei, featuring multiple halls dedicated to Buddhist teachings and religious ceremonies.

The monastery emerged during the Ming dynasty and underwent substantial expansion in the Qing dynasty under Emperor Kangxi's administration.

The temple houses three primary structures: the Maitreya Hall, Daxiong Hall, and Avalokitesvara Hall, each containing Buddhist sculptures and religious artifacts.

The temple welcomes visitors daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM without entrance fees, though weather conditions can change rapidly at this elevation.

The temple's name derives from a pool where, according to local narrative, the Bodhisattva Samantabhadra washed his white elephant.
