Guangren Temple in Xi'an, Shaanxi

Guangren Temple is the only main venue for Green Tara in China, and also the only Tibetan Gelug temple in Shaanxi. It was built in the 44th year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty (1705) when Emperor Kangxi visited Shaanxi. Guangren Temple is the palace where Dalai Lama, Panchen Lama and other lamas from the northwest and Kangzang area passed through Shaanxi on their way to Beijing, so it is also called 'Lama Temple'. The temple houses one of the only two life-size statues of Buddha at the age of twelve in the world, the largest Thousand-Hand Guanyin in Shaanxi, and the only exquisite Thousand Buddha Hall in China. It is also the place where Princess Wencheng was worshipped in Chang'an. It is a national key cultural relic protection unit.
