Xiantong Temple in Mount Wutai, the earliest temple in China

Xiantong Temple in Mount Wutai, the earliest temple in China, is different from other temples in the Mount Wutai complex. Its overall architecture is particularly spacious, making it very comfortable to walk around in, and it is truly deserving of its status as the premier temple of Mount Wutai. Xiantong Temple was originally built during the Eastern Han Dynasty under Emperor Ming, and it has a history of more than 1,900 years. The architectural style is primarily of the Ming and Qing dynasties, with the Mahavira Hall, bell tower, and east and west side halls well-preserved. According to legend, Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty became a monk here, with the Dharma name 'Xingchi'. The Bronze Hall of Xiantong Temple is one of the four existing bronze halls in China, with an overall resplendent and magnificent appearance, a must-see!
