Murals and sculptures in Huayan Temple

Murals and sculptures in Huayan Temple

Huayan Temple has been burned down and rebuilt several times. The Mahavira Hall and Buddhist Texts Library still preserve the architectural style of the Liao and Jin dynasties (907-1234). It is an artistic complex of ancient Chinese architecture, sculpture, frescoes and inscriptions, as well as a cultural synthesis of religion and politics. - Wikipedia
The murals we see now have all been redone by the teachers and students of the Central Academy of Fine Arts.
