Dailuoding, Buddhist temple in Mount Wutai, China

The temple features five principal buildings along its central axis, including the Paifang, Four Heavenly Kings Hall, Danchan Hall, Manjushri Hall, and Mahavira Hall.

Originally named Foding'an during the Tang dynasty, the temple received its current name Dailuoding in 1750 under the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing dynasty.

The Manjushri Hall contains five distinct statues of Manjushri Bodhisattva, each measuring nearly two meters in height and representing different spiritual qualities.

Located 400 meters above sea level, visitors can access the temple through three routes: climbing 1080 stone stairs, taking a cable car, or riding horseback.

Within the Mahavira Hall, eighteen Arhat statues flank the central figures of Sakyamuni, Amitabha, and Bhaisajyaguru, representing different aspects of Buddhist teachings.
