The Stone Buddha of Baishui Temple

The Stone Buddha of Baishui Temple

The Stone Buddha of Baishui Temple is located in Yan Mountain Park, Fangshan District. Originally named Baishui Xinglong Temple, it was so called because a stream called Baishui flows in front of the temple, hence the name Baishui Xinglong Temple. The temple is commonly known as Baishui Temple. Inside the temple stand three massive stone-carved Buddha statues, which also earned it the nickname “Great Buddha Temple.” It is a municipal-level cultural relics protection unit. The Stone Buddha of Baishui Temple is the largest stone Buddha in the Beijing area and is an important physical relic for the study of Beijing’s Buddhist culture and Buddhist sculpture.
