Lushan Temple, National Key Buddhist Temple in Yuelu Mountain, Changsha, China.

Lushan Temple is a Buddhist sanctuary located on Yuelu Mountain in Changsha, featuring multiple structures including the Hall of Great Heroes, a meditation room, and various support buildings. The complex is organized across the mountainside with interconnected pathways linking the different areas.

Zhu Fachong founded the temple as Hui Guangming Temple in 268, the first Buddhist temple in Hunan. In 589 Zhiyi preached the Lotus Sutra there, and in 602 a pagoda was raised to hold Buddha relics presented by India. Renamed Lushan Temple in the early Tang, it was destroyed in 845, rebuilt as Luyuan in 847, razed by Mongol troops in the Yuan and left abandoned for 150 years, then rebuilt under the Ming and Qing.

The temple's name changed with its fortunes: Hui Guangming under the Jin, Lushan in the Tang, Luyuan after 847, Wanshou in the Ming, and Old Lushan Temple in the early Republic. Tang poets including Du Fu, Han Yu and Liu Zhangqing left poems and calligraphy here; Du Fu described the temple gate opening onto Dongting Lake.

The site is located near Denggao Road in Yuelu District and welcomes visitors daily with no entrance fees. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended since the temple sits on a mountainside with multiple levels and pathways to explore.

The 602 relic pagoda no longer stands; the temple's present halls, including the Hall of Great Heroes and Guanyin Hall, date from reconstructions after 1983 and follow Ming architectural style. The temple was among 29 Hunan Buddhist sites that dropped admission fees on 10 May 2013.
