Located on the eastern side of the Fragrant Hills, this temple was built in the seventh century in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty. It was enlarged in the Yuan Dynasty to accommodate a huge bronze Reclining Buddha, which was cast in the year 1320 using 25,000 kilograms of bronze.
The 5.2-meter-long Sleeping Buddha is said to portray the nirvana of Sakyamuni, founder of Buddhism. Surrounding it are 12 smaller sculptures, depicting the mouming expressions of his 12 disciples. Also contained in the temple are Buddhist scriptures and other statues.
