Dafo Temple, Huize, Buddhist temple in Huize County, China

The Dafo Temple complex features multiple halls across five levels, including the Heavenly King Hall and Big Buddha Hall with traditional Chinese architecture.

The temple's history began during the Western Xia period around 1100, constructed by the Tangut people after they gained control of the Zhangye region.

The temple maintains an extensive collection of ancient Buddhist scriptures and serves as a central repository for Buddhist literature in Yunnan Province.

Following extensive restoration work completed in 2006, the temple opened its doors to visitors and resumed operations as an active religious center.

The temple contains a monumental reclining Buddha statue measuring 35 meters in length, constructed from clay upon a wooden framework.
