Xumi Fushou Temple
Xumi Fushou Temple is a Buddhist temple in Chengde, Hebei, China. It is one of the Eight Outer Temples in the Chengde Mountain Resort and sits on a gentle hill north of the resort, east of Putuo Zongcheng Temple. The temple covers about 37,900 square meters.
The temple was built in 1780 to celebrate the 70th birthday of the Qianlong Emperor. It was made for the sixth Panchen Lama, Lobsang Palden Yeshe, who came from Tibet to join the celebration. The design blends Chinese and Tibetan architectural styles.
Its main building is the Great Red Terrace, a three-story structure built on a three-story foundation. The Miaogaozhuangyan Hall is where the Panchen Lama preached. The Jixiangfaxi Hall, with a roof of gold-plated copper tiles, was the Panchen Lama’s home. Other notable buildings include the seven-story octagonal Liuli-Wanshou Pagoda and a glazed tile paifang (gate).
In the stele pavilion, there is a memorial plaque with inscriptions in Manchu, Chinese, Mongolian and Tibetan script.
From 1979 to the 1980s, the Eight Outer Temples and the Chengde Mountain Resort were renovated using local stone slabs. Since 1992, fossilized dinosaur tracks have been found in the surrounding rock slabs, with more than 40 tracks discovered near the temple.
Location coordinates: about 41.0179°N, 117.9427°E.
