Wuhan - Temple of the Regained Perfection

(Local Name: Guiyuan Si) The Temple of Regained Perfection (Guiyuan Si), about 1km /.5mi southwest of Guqin Tai Terrace, was built in the Qing period (1644-1911), through the efforts of the monk Bai Guang, on the site of a mandarin's private garden, and the architecture is to some degree secular.

The main buildings - evenly distributed over the courtyard which is adorned with pools, trees, flower-beds and artificial hillocks - are similar to all other Buddhist temples in China; they include the Buddha Hall, the Luohan Hall (Luohan Tang) containing 500 Luohan statues, and the Changjian Ge Pavilion with sutras (Buddhist teachings).
