Guangyun Temple
广允缅寺
A Qing-dynasty Theravada Buddhist temple in the county town, with a blend of Han and Dai architecture and finely preserved interior murals. It is a national key cultural relic protection unit.
Guangyun Temple was built during the Daoguang era of the Qing dynasty. Han Chinese craftsmen and Dai monks built it together. Its roof is in the Dai multi-eave style, while its beams, columns, brackets and wood carvings use Han techniques. The main hall has more than a dozen colorful murals depicting Buddhist sutra stories and local customs, and they are a physical record for studying cultural exchange on the Qing-era frontier. The temple lies in the center of Mengdong Town and is within walking distance. Admission is free. Please remove your shoes before entering the hall and keep quiet.
