Tumen Huayan Temple

  Huayan Temple is situated on Nissyo Mountain, a uniquely scenic and picturesque mountain just 5 kilometers southwest of downtown Tumen. The "Huayan Temple" on Nissyo Mountain was established in 1913 by the Korean master Suiyue and was the largest and most populous temple among the 15 temples in Tumen at that time.

  In 2008, Huayan Temple was restored and rebuilt.

  Oriented west to east, the temple complex consists of main structures such as the Mountain Gate, Heavenly King Hall, Mahavira Hall, and Scripture Depository, along with associated auxiliary buildings. The total construction area is approximately 4,000 square meters. Based on Tumen's unique historical, geographical, and cultural context, the overall architecture of Nissyo Temple was designed in a Tang-Song revival style, while the colorful paintings in the main halls reflect traditional Korean ethnic characteristics. This distinctive architectural form, which skillfully blends "Chinese style" with "Korean ethnic customs," stands out remarkably. Among all Buddhist temples in China, it holds a truly unique place.

  Huayan Temple is a key cultural tourism project that combines Tumen’s Buddhist culture with tourism development. Leveraging the international renown of Master Suiyue in the Buddhist world, it fully showcases the historical and cultural value of the Buddhist temples on Nissyo Mountain. Relying on Tumen’s unique geographic location and the beautiful natural ecological environment of Nissyo Mountain, the goal is to build Huayan Temple on Nissyo Mountain into a grand Buddhist cultural landmark that uniquely fuses the architectural styles of traditional Chinese temples with Korean-style building designs.
