Hongchunping Temple, Buddhist temple on Mount Emei, Sichuan, China.

Located at an altitude of 1,120 meters, Hongchunping Temple spans 5,000 square meters and features the Front Gate, Hall of Four Heavenly Kings, and Mahavira Hall.

Established in 1790 after a fire destroyed the original Thousand Buddha Temple, the site received its name from three 1,200-year-old Ailanthus altissima trees.

The Mahavira Hall contains a central Samantabhadra statue with eighteen Arhat statues arranged along both sides of the gable walls.

The temple opens daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM and stands as a stopping point for visitors hiking the pilgrimage routes of Mount Emei.

Morning Rain in Hongchunping ranks among Mount Emei's ten distinguished natural scenes, with dense forests surrounding the temple grounds.
