Linyanshan Temple, Buddhist temple in Suzhou, China

Linyanshan Temple stands atop a hill, featuring traditional Chinese architecture with ornate wooden structures, detailed roof designs, and spacious meditation halls.

Established during the Eastern Jin period between 317 and 420 AD, the temple grounds previously contained a palace for Xishi, one of China's four legendary beauties.

The temple holds regular ceremonies throughout the year where practitioners engage in Pure Land Buddhism traditions and participate in meditation sessions.

Visitors can reach the temple complex through the Wuzhong District of Suzhou, with dedicated areas for prayer, contemplation, and community gatherings inside.

The temple maintains its status as a National Key Buddhist Temple in China, integrating religious practices with educational resources through preserved ancient inscriptions.
