Tianmenshan Temple (simplified Chinese: 天门山寺; traditional Chinese: 天門山寺; pinyin: Tiānménshān Sì) is a Buddhist temple located in Tianmen Mountain of Zhangjiajie, Hunan, China.[1][2][3] The temple is built within grounds of some 20,000 square metres (220,000 sq ft) area.

History

Tianmenshan Temple was built during the Tang dynasty (AD 870), and it was named "Lingquan Temple" (灵泉院).[3] During the Republic of China, it was destroyed by war.[when?] [3] After 1949, the local government rebuilt the temple.[3] On June 8, 2009, one of the Gautama Buddha's Śarīra was stored in here.[4]
