Liuchu Bodhisattva Temple is a cultural relic protection unit of Changzhi City.

Liuchu Bodhisattva Temple is located in Liuchu Village, Shangma Township, Xiangyuan County. It faces south and has a single-courtyard layout, measuring 35.2 meters from north to south and 25.8 meters from east to west, covering an area of 913 square meters. The year of its establishment is unknown. The existing main hall is primarily a Yuan Dynasty structure, with renovations carried out during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The gate, theater stage, and east wing room are remnants from the Qing Dynasty. Along the central axis are the theater stage and the main hall, with three wing rooms on the east side. All are brick-and-wood structures, among which the east wing room is a two-story building. The main hall has three bays in width and six rafters in depth, with a beam frame supported by four pillars using four-rafter beams and front-back struts. The roof features a single-eave hanging gable style with glazed ridge ornaments and cylindrical tiles. There is a door on the southeastern side, and an anti-gambling stele is located to the east of the gate. The Bodhisattva Temple is a relatively typical example of Yuan Dynasty architecture and provides physical material for the study of local temple buildings. In 2007, it was designated as a municipal-level cultural relic protection unit by the People's Government of Changzhi City.
