Lingzhao Temple

Lingzhao Temple, Buddhist temple in Yanqing District, China.

Lingzhao Temple is a Buddhist temple in Yanqing District featuring multiple halls decorated with intricate carved details and traditional Chinese architectural elements. The complex houses various Buddhist statues and artwork positioned throughout its different sections.

Lingzhao Temple was first built during the Jin dynasty as Guanyin Temple and was destroyed in the wars at the end of the Yuan. It was rebuilt on the same site in 1414, the twelfth year of the Ming Yongle reign, and in 1440 the Ming Yingzong emperor granted it the name Lingzhao Temple. Monks later expanded it into a large complex.

The temple is popularly known as "Nanda Temple" (南大寺). Its two side halls hold a folk exhibition with more than 600 everyday objects and photographs of local life. About 100 metres west stands Guishui Park, laid out in European architectural style, and the nearby Lianhua Lake dock lets visitors board boats on Guishui Lake.

Lingzhao Temple stands at No. 7 Hubei West Road on the north bank of Guishui Lake (Lianhua Lake) in Yanqing. About 100 m west lies Guishui Park, laid out in European architectural style, and the nearby Lianhua Lake dock lets visitors board boats on the lake. The temple faces south, so its halls are entered from the south side.

In September 2013 a pair of stone lions at the temple gate was stolen; police in Huairou detained the suspects two days later and recovered the lions before they were handed over. The pair now stands at the gate again.
