The City of Kaifeng, Henan, China

7. Kaifeng Da Xiangguo Temple

Today's Da Xiangguo Temple mainly contains Tianwang(Heavenly Kings) Hall, Daxiongbaodian Hall(Hall of Sakyamuni) , Octagonal Glazed Hall, and Sutra Hall. The Octagonal Glazed Palace houses a seven-meter high, thousand-handed and thousand-eyed wooden statue of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva with so delicate carving techniques that it is regarded as the masterpiece of China's ancient wood carving art. After 1992, such buildings as Bell Tower and Drum Tower were gradually built in this temple. You can find a large bell of the Qing Dynasty in Bell Tower.
