KAIYUAN TEMPLE

The temple is located in the north of the city, easily surrounded by its two large pagodas (Zhenguo pagodas, 48 m high, and Renshou, reaching a height of 44 m). The temple was built in 686, but won its current name only in 738. The location is very pleasant. You can admire the sublime structure of the main building that dates back to the Ming dynasty. The main building has a room also called Baizu Dian (the Hundred Pillars Hall) because of the 86 columns that make it up. The temple also has a very beautiful library dating back to the th century.
