INTRODUCTIONBuilt in the Zhiping period of the Northern Song Dynasty around 1064-1067 and originally named Zhiping Temple, Luohan Temple is one of China's national key Buddhist temples. It is part of the National Key Cultural Relics Protection unit and the residence of the Chongqing Buddhist Association. The temple offers a surprisingly calm and quiet atmosphere despite being located in the center of the downtown area. The small entrance fee is well worth it, even to escape the outside hustle and noise.
