Guangming Temple on Mount Wutai

Guangming Temple is located south of Guangming Temple Village in Taihuai Town, on the north bank of the Qingshui River. It was originally built during the Northern Qi Dynasty and is a renowned ancient temple on Mount Wutai. It was rebuilt during the Ming Dynasty on a grand scale, covering an area of 7,000 square meters. It was destroyed during the land reform in 1947, but now a very devout nun from the northeast has constructed a main hall with a single-eave hip-and-gable roof, five bays wide, along with the Hall of Heavenly Kings and the Bell and Drum Towers. The buildings have been newly painted, with carved beams and painted rafters, presenting a vibrant and lively scene.
