Ta'er Temple, Buddhist temple in Guazhou County, China.
The Ta'er Temple occupies 15,000 square meters outside Suoyang City walls and contains a central pagoda, eleven smaller pagodas, and monk residential quarters.
The temple dates from the Northern Zhou dynasty between 557 and 581, with most existing structures constructed during the Western Xia period from 1038 to 1227.
The temple displays architectural elements from different periods, featuring a main adobe pagoda measuring 14.5 meters tall with white lime coating and bowl shape.
The temple ruins form part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Suoyang City within the Silk Roads Network of Chang'an-Tianshan Corridor.
Russian explorers in the 1940s opened the main pagoda and discovered numerous ancient sutras and paintings within its walls.
