Shuanglin Temple

Built over the course of four dynasties, the Shuanglin temple has an immense variety of Buddhist art and coloured sculptures.

Because of such vicissitudes as the Cultural Revolution, it is rare to see well-preserved statues in China. Shuanglin Temple offers the exceptional opportunity to see statues from as early as the Song as well as theĀ  Ming and Qing dynasties. (960-1911)
