Hengdian Dazhi Buddhist Temple

Hengdian Dazhi Buddhist Temple is a cultural tourism attraction.

Dazhi Buddhist Temple was originally built during the Liang Dynasty of the Southern Dynasties (502–557 AD), boasting a history of over 1,500 years. Its restoration began in 1994 on a site covering 280 acres. The restored temple revives its ancient charm with a rigorously arranged layout, majestic presence, and awe-inspiring grandeur. It houses the tallest indoor statue of Sakyamuni Buddha in China and is a serene Buddhist sanctuary adorned with verdant foliage and steeped in timeless tranquility.

Dazhi Buddhist Temple promotes the teachings of Zen Buddhism. Visitors can bask in the radiance of Buddha’s light and undergo spiritual cleansing. This experience is not about eliminating suffering, but about guiding people toward kindness, inner peace, and a deeper understanding of life. The compassion and wisdom of Buddhism bring peace and happiness, helping visitors reflect on life’s true meaning, open their hearts to beauty, and perceive goodness and truth. Dazhi Buddhist Temple is not only a tranquil, incense-filled sanctuary but also an elegant, picturesque retreat. Its captivating scenery overwhelms the senses, leaving visitors in awe. The temple has been designated as a martial arts film shooting base in Hengdian World Studios and is favored by many action movie producers. Films and TV series such as “The Romantic Swordsman,” “The Legendary Twins,” “Ji Gong,” and “Smart Kid” were filmed here. With its unique charm, Dazhi Buddhist Temple adds luster to Hengdian’s film and television tourism industry.

This is a place where people can momentarily set aside worldly prejudices and reconnect with their innate kindness. It is ideal for stressed white-collar workers, busy entrepreneurs, directionless students, and anyone interested in learning about Buddhist rituals and culture.
