Step into the treasure house of Oriental colored sculpture art—Shuanglin Temple

Shuanglin Temple is known as the "treasure house of Oriental colored sculpture art". The 10 temples in the temple preserve 2052 colored sculptures of various sizes from the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, of which 1556 are relatively intact. Its works are called "real, unique treasures" by experts from UNESCO. Shuanglin Temple was established before the Northern Wei Dynasty and was rebuilt in the second year of Wuping in the Northern Qi Dynasty more than 1400 years ago. It was originally named "Zhongdu Temple" because the Zhongdu County was set up here during the Han Dynasty. Shuanglin Temple
