Chongshan Temple
When Chongshan Temple was built, it was for the temporary dwelling place of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. Additions were made to the site during the Ming Dynasty in 1381 by the son of Zhu Yuan Zhuang to remember his mother. The Chongshan Temple has a figure of Avalokitesvara, a deity with one thousand hand and eyes. This is located in the Hall of Great Mercy, which has an architectural style that is found in the Ming Dynasty. The area around the hall has been turned into a park that is open to the public.
There are also two Ming Dynasty towers made of brick that are over 50 meters high and represent the symbol of Taiyuan. The area of the existing Chongshan Temple is 80% of its original one. The existing main architectures of Chongshan Temple are mountain door, bell tower, the eastern and western wing-room and Dabei Temple.
