Haizang Temple
海藏寺
An ancient temple wrapped in green trees northwest of the city. Its archway, mountain gate and Immeasurable Hall unfold in sequence, and its tranquil gardens earn it the title of Liangzhou's foremost temple.
Haizang Temple lies about 2 km northwest of Liangzhou city, surrounded by wetlands and woodland. It has a long history, and most of the surviving buildings date from the Ming and Qing dynasties. Along the central axis are a memorial archway, a mountain gate, the Great Buddha Hall and the Immeasurable Hall. The Immeasurable Hall stands on a raised platform with views over the city outskirts. The temple also has an old well that locals call the “Medicine Spring.” The surroundings are quiet and there are few visitors, so it suits a leisurely half-day visit, often scheduled together with Leitai Han Tomb. Opening hours and admission are subject to on-site confirmation.
