About Kulun Three Temples
Xingyuan Temple began in 1649 and developed around an axial sequence of halls, with paired side buildings and bell and drum towers. Rebuilding around the turn of the twentieth century gave its main hall a two-storey form combining Tibetan and Han architectural elements and joined its enclosure to neighbouring Xiangjiao.
Founded in 1670, Xiangjiao housed the chief lama and administrative offices, so residential and official spaces occupied much of its compound. Fuyuan, built in 1742, has a sequence of four halls and later became a centre of Buddhist study. The temples experienced substantial damage in the twentieth century; Xingyuan and Fuyuan underwent government-funded repairs in 1986.
What to look for
- Xingyuan's main hall and the symmetrical arrangement of halls and towers.
- Xiangjiao's compound, whose layout reflects the chief lama's residential and administrative functions.
- Fuyuan's sequence of four halls, associated with its history of Buddhist education.
