Guangzhou Giant Buddha Temple was built in the Southern Han Dynasty (AD 9 17-97 1) as a new Tibetan Buddhist temple. It was built in the sky for 28 nights on the glazed glass of the Southern Han Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, it was expanded into Longzang Temple, and later changed to Inspection Department. In the first year of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty (1649), the study was destroyed by fire. In the spring of the second year of Kangxi, Wang Shangxi of Pingnan donated his own imperial pension to rebuild a temple with Lingnan local style, imitating the official temple system in Shi Jing, which has high cultural and artistic ornamental value.
Daxiong Hall faces south, with a building area of1.200m2.. It is still the highest in Lingnan. Despite more than 300 years of wind and rain erosion, its style still exists. High-quality wood donated by King Annan (present-day Vietnam) as a beam-column framework has been basically intact so far. In the 11th year of Yongzheng (1733), Liu Shu, the magistrate of Guangzhou, chose the Great Buddha Temple as the lecture place and built a lecture pavilion in front of the temple. At the same time, there are Wei Tuo Hall, Jialan Hall, "Buddha Country" and "Zen Forest" on both sides of the main hall. At this time, the scope of the temple expanded, Buddhism flourished and its reputation spread far and wide, becoming one of the five jungles after the recovery.
