Yuantong Temple is located in the middle section of Yuantong Street, Kunming City, adjacent to Kunming Zoo. It is one of the famous and ancient Buddhist temples in Kunming. The temple has been around for 1,200 years and enjoys a high reputation in history. It is also very large in scale and is very famous in Southwest China and Southeast Asia.
The temple is located at the foot of the mountain, but it is not built on the mountain, but the terrain gets lower as you go inward, which is very rare in temples. The entire temple is like a garden, with green hills behind it, and green pools in the courtyard. With the exquisite ancient buildings, the photos taken are very beautiful. What is particularly exciting is that it incorporates Chinese Buddhism, Tibetan Buddhism and Theravada Buddhism from Southeast Asia, and the architecture also has these various characteristics.
The monastery has a high status in Southwest China and Southeast Asia, and many pilgrims come to pray every day. If you come here on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, there will be grand Buddhist activities in the temple, which will be very lively.
