Sanquan Temple

Sanquan Temple, on the hillside of Mount Wutai and near the town of Taihuai, Shanxi province gets its name from the three ever-bubbling springs in a well beside the temple.

Built in Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368), the temple was reconstructed by Master Xinglian during the period of Ming Zhengtong (1436-1449). Master Xinglian rebuilt the nave and cast a bronze statue of Buddha, enshrined on the lotus stage in the nave. During 1725 to 1734, a Shananism Lama renovated the temple again.

Sanquan Temple is sitting south and has a total of 16 halls and rooms.
