Ancient Kaifu Temple

Most existing buildings were reconstructed in the Guangxu reign of the Qing Dynasty, following the classic symmetrical "Seven Halls of Buddhist Monastery" layout of Tang and Song dynasties, and is honored as the top sacred Buddhist site in Changsha. Different from bustling commercial scenic spots, it carries profound religious culture and tranquil Zen atmosphere. Its core highlights include the entrance memorial archway inscribed with calligraphy by Zhao Puchu, Kowloon Guanyin Release Pond, Maitreya Hall, Mahavira Hall, Pilu Hall with 500 Arhat statues, Great Compassion Hall and the iconic internet-famous yellow ancient wall perfect for Hanfu photography. Special featured experience is the traditional Arhat Counting Fortune-telling ritual inside Pilu Hall. It is ideal for religious blessing pilgrimage, traditional cultural study, ancient architecture appreciation and Hanfu portrait shooting, and can be combined with Xiang River riverside belt, Beihu Park and Xiuhu Lake for a quiet northern Changsha cultural leisure itinerary.
