Xingfu Temple, Buddhist temple in Changshu, China

The Xingfu Temple stands at the base of Mount Yu, featuring traditional Chinese architectural elements including the Mahavira Hall and several ornate pagodas.

Originally constructed as Dabei Temple between 494 and 502 by governor Ni Deguang, the structure received its current name in 868 under Tang Dynasty Emperor Yizong.

The temple maintains its position as a National Key Buddhist Temple in Han Chinese Area, designated by the State Council of China in 1983.

Located at 7-0 Tahou Street, the temple welcomes visitors from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with facilities including the Hall of Four Heavenly Kings and Bell tower.

Tang Dynasty poet Chang Jian immortalized the temple in verse, with his composition becoming part of the Three Hundred Tang Poems collection.
