Temple of Han Yu, Tang Dynasty temple in Chaozhou, China

The Temple of Han Yu encompasses 20,000 square meters of buildings and gardens, featuring the Grand Hall that contains a statue of the Tang Dynasty scholar.

The temple was established in 999 AD by Chen Yaozuo near the Confucian temple, then relocated twice before reaching its current location in 1189 AD.

Stone tablets throughout the temple display inscriptions from different dynasties, preserving the literary works and thoughts of numerous Chinese scholars.

The temple welcomes visitors every day from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM except Mondays, with guided tours available to explain the historical significance of each building.

An oak tree planted over 1,000 years ago stands within the temple grounds, while the Tian Nan Bei Sheng corridor contains more than 200 stone tablets.
