Overview

This temple was constructed in 1443, funded by donations collected by Li Tong, a eunuch from the Ming Dynasty era. The temple has a distinguished international reputation because of the beautifully preserved Buddhist murals on display. They depict Buddhist ceremonies, the sacred land of Buddhism, flying Apsaras and the Goddess of Mercy. The figures on the murals in the main hall are particularly life-like. The temple opens daily at 9a.
