Buddhism has a significant presence in the Yunnan Province. Kunming’s pride is the Huating Temple situated on the Western Hills of the Mount Huating. Built more than 900 years ago, the temple still exudes the charm of the old world and its original foundation is still intact.

The Huating Temple was built during the reign of the Song Dynasty as per the wishes of Gao Zhi Shen. The temple stands over a 12,000 square metre platform in a rectangular layout. The temple houses Da Guang Ming Hall and the Yuanjie Temple dedicated to the Twelve Bodhhisatvas of Perfect Enlightenment. It bears the touch of Confucian culture surrounded by Free Life Pond, Hall of Heavenly king and Mahavira Hall. The Bell Tower is an iconic monument inside the temple premise.
