Renovations begin at city's Jade Buddha Temple

The renovation of Jade Buddha Temple began today.

The temple’s main pavilion is being moved 30 meters as part of a project that will also see two buildings replaced.

Renovations are set to create more room for worshippers and address fire safety concerns at the popular temple on Anyuan Road, home to two jade Buddhas.

The Grand Hall, dating from 1918, will be moved 30 meters to the north along with three huge Buddha statues inside. Such an operation has never been attempted at a temple in China. The project will take two years, during which the temple will remain open.
