Baoyan Temple
宝严寺
Baoyan Temple in central Shaowu, whose main hall is a Song-dynasty building listed as a National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit.
Baoyan Temple lies in the urban area of Shaowu. Its surviving main hall is a Song-dynasty timber structure with large bracket sets and simple roof framing, retaining many early construction features. It is a National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit and one of the few surviving Song-dynasty timber buildings in Fujian. The temple is modest in size, and a visit takes about half an hour, which suits visitors interested in ancient architecture. It can be combined with the city wall and Xichun Mountain Park. Opening hours and visitor requirements are set on site. Please keep quiet and do not touch any of the architectural components.
