Information
Huayan Temple is located in the southwest corner of the ancient city of Datong. It was built in the seventh year of Liao Chongxi (1038) and is named after the Buddhist scripture "Avatamsaka Sutra," which embodies the Mahayana doctrine of "the flower of compassion must bear the fruit of dignity." It also serves as a royal ancestral temple of the Liao dynasty, holding a prominent status. After being destroyed in war, it was rebuilt in the third year of Jin Tianjuan (1140). The temple faces east, with over 30 individual buildings such as the mountain gate, Puguangming Hall, Mahavira Hall, Bhagavat Sutra Hall, and Huayan Pagoda arranged along the north-south main axes, showcasing a rigorous layout. Huayan Temple covers an area of 66,000 square meters and is one of the earliest and best-preserved Liao-Jin temple complexes in China. A visit is recommended to take about one hour.
