Шаблон:Infobox religious building Guangji Temple (Шаблон:Zh) is a Buddhist temple located in Baodi District of Tianjin, China. Originally built in the Liao dynasty (907–1125), it is a cultural and artistic treasure in the Chinese architecture history. However, after the Communists seized the city, the magistrate presided over the destruction of the temple. The present version was completed in 2007, which was just the 1002 year after the original temple was built.

After his death, his disciples Daoguang (Шаблон:Zh) and Yihong (Шаблон:Zh) inherited the behest of their teacher, and the complex was finally completed in 1025.[1]

In 1932, the eminent architect Liang Sicheng surveyed the temple, he made a detailed record of its buildings and took pictures, which was written into his book Architecture History in China.Шаблон:Sfnb[1]
