Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple

Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple

Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple is a cultural relic protection unit of Anyang County.

Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple is located on Baiyun Mountain, east of Lizhen Village in Duli Town. Historical inscriptions record that the temple was established in the 16th year of the Zhenguan era of the Tang Dynasty (638 AD). The architectural complex was grand in scale and imposing in presence. Its main structures included the Buddha Hall, Laojun Hall, Confucian Temple, Lüzu Hall, Guan Di Hall, Skanda Hall, Nine Immortal Maidens Hall, Dragon Palace, Flower Goddess Temple, and Mount Tai God Hall. Most of the buildings were destroyed during the Anti-Japanese War. During Japan’s invasion of China, Japanese militarists forced local residents to dismantle the temple to build gun emplacements, bathhouses, and drill grounds. These sites have since become powerful negative examples used for patriotic education. Sixteen stone inscriptions from the Ming and Qing dynasties still remain at the temple site, holding significant historical research value. Additionally, Baiyun Mountain has two iron ore pits dating back to the Song Dynasty, which provide valuable reference material for the study of China’s metallurgical history. It is designated as a county-level cultural relic protection unit.
