Xixin Chan Temple, Buddhist temple in Wangcheng District, Changsha, China

The temple complex encompasses 14 buildings including the Mahavira Hall, Hall of Four Heavenly Kings, Bell Tower, and Drum Tower across 360,000 square meters.

Master Hanyue Fazang established the temple in 1620 during the Ming Dynasty, originally naming it Xixin An before its later transformation into Xixin Chan Temple.

The temple houses a precious Four-faced Brahma statue from Thailand, presented as a national treasure through the Thai First Generation Emperor Charity Fund in 2008.

Located 8 kilometers north of Changsha at Mount Gaoding's base, the temple provides spaces for Buddhist practices, meditation, and religious ceremonies.

The reconstruction project completed in 2006 required an investment of 50 million RMB to restore the temple's structures and religious significance.
