Chongqing Donglin Temple

　　　　Donglin Ancient Temple is a renowned Buddhist site in the area. Originally built during the Chunxi era of the Song Dynasty, it has a history of over 820 years. By the Chenghua era of the Ming Dynasty, it was expanded into a three-courtyard quadrangle with three halls (excluding the mountain gate), covering a construction area of approximately 2,000 square meters. During the ten-year turmoil, most of the temple buildings and Buddha statues at Donglin Temple were damaged or destroyed. Only the main hall, the right wing room, and the Thousand-Hand Guanyin statue carved into the cliff to the right of the fortress gate remain. In 1986, Donglin Temple was designated as a cultural relics protection unit by the government.
