 This
large temple, located at
26 Tianwei Road in Hebei
District of Tianjin, is
the best–preserved
monastery in the city.
It has two sections, the
old and the new. The old
temple was rebuilt in
1669, the eighth year of
the rule of Emperor Kang
Xi. Several hundred
Buddhist statues made of
bronze, wood, iron, and
stone from the Wei, Jin,
and Southern and
Northern dynasties to
the Ming and Qing
dynasties are on display
here. The new temple was
built in 1940 and
contains a number of
Buddhist halls. |
