Kaiyuan Temple

开元寺
Kāiyuán Sì

A Tang temple with twin stone pagodas and Hindu carvings on the pillars. Free.

Founded in 686. The two thirteenth-century pagodas are the tallest stone pagodas in China; the main hall's columns came from a demolished Hindu temple. On the 26th of each lunar month the temple holds a fair and the whole town turns up.
