About Xiangshan Temple
Miaoming Pagoda gives the complex a clear vertical landmark, while the Shoufo and Yuantong halls provide the principal worship spaces. Stone inscriptions add a different layer of detail around the hill and temple. This is the 湘山寺 in Quanzhou, so keep the Chinese name and county together when planning: it is not a temple at Guilin’s Elephant Trunk Hill.
What to look for
- Miaoming Pagoda has an octagonal exterior and a tiered silhouette.
- The Shoufo and Yuantong halls contrast with the inscribed rock around the temple.
