Situated at West Street in Quangzhou, this
1300 year old temple is one of the largest Buddhist compounds
in Fujian Province. The Great Hero Hall (Daxongbaodian),
the main building inside the temple grounds, contains 100
roof-support columns. Hence it got the name "100 Column
Hall" in local folklore. The East and West Pagoda stand
in front of the temple. Beautiful carvings suggesting a
mixture of Western angels with traditional Chinese art images
decorate the building.
