Ling Yin Temple
Ling Yin Temple is one of the ten most famous ancient Buddhist temples in China dating back to the Song dynasty about 1000 years. Located at the foot of Ling Yin Mountain, the main hall is 34 meters (111ft) tall - incredibly high for a 1 story building. In the centre of the hall there is a statue of Sakyamuni Buddha, which was carved from 24 pieces of camphor wood. The 2 stone pagodas in front of the hall were built in 960 during the Song dynasty (960-1271). Ling Yin Temple is considered a leading centre for research relative to Chinese Buddhist culture. The Temple contains an important collection of Buddhist literature together with many other treasures. As a consequence it is a great centre of information for those who wish to study aspects of Chinese Buddhism in detail.
