Guangji Temple, Buddhist temple in Jinghu District, Wuhu, China

The Guangji Temple features multiple halls, including the Heavenly Kings Hall and Mahaviro Hall, arranged in four distinct sections across its grounds.

Originally constructed during the Tang Dynasty in the Qianning period, the temple underwent several name changes before receiving its current name in the Northern Song Dynasty.

The temple maintains a collection of Buddhist artifacts, including a gold stamp from 757 CE, representing the artistic achievements of the Tang Dynasty.

Visitors can reach the temple through local bus routes that connect to major transportation hubs in Wuhu, with numerous dining options available nearby.

The temple's Red Tower, built in 1065, stands 28 meters tall as a five-tiered hexagonal pagoda housing a statue of Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva.
