Huili Temple, Buddhist temple in Haining, China.
The temple grounds contain two octagonal stone pillars measuring 5 meters in height, adorned with intricate relief carvings depicting Buddhist symbols and texts.
Originally established as Zhiyuan Temple between 373 and 375 by official Zhang Yanguang, the site was renamed to Huili Temple in 1009 during the Song dynasty.
The stone pillars feature detailed engravings of the Usnisa Vijaya Dharani Sutra, representing significant Buddhist teachings and artistic craftsmanship of the Tang dynasty.

The temple's stone pillars, constructed in 874, received national recognition in 2013 when added to the Major Historical and Cultural Sites list of Zhejiang.
