Haichao Temple, Buddhist temple in Shangcheng District, China.

Haichao Temple features the Hall of Four Heavenly Kings, constructed in 1890 during the Qing dynasty rule of Guangxu Emperor.

Originally built during the Ming dynasty Wanli period between 1573 and 1620, the temple experienced damage during the Taiping Rebellion in 1861.

The temple stands as one of the Four Buddhist Temples in Hangzhou, together with Lingyin Temple, Jing Temple, and Zhaoqing Temple.

The Hangzhou municipal government designated Haichao Temple as a cultural relic conservation unit in July 2000, ensuring its preservation.

In 1881, Abbot Puzhao established a Buddhist Texts Library containing a collection of Chinese Buddhist canon granted by Emperor Guangxu.
