![Foguang Temple (Chinese: ) is a Buddhist temple located five kilometers from Doucun, Wutai County, Shanxi Province of China. The major hall of the temple is the East Hall, built in 857 AD, during the Tang Dynasty (618907). According to architectural records, it is the third earliest preserved timber structure in China. It was rediscovered by the 20th century architectural historian Liang Sicheng (19011972) in 1937, while an older hall at Nanchan Temple was discovered by the same team a year later.[1] The temple also contains another significant hall dating from 1137 called the Manjusri Hall. In addition, the second oldest pagoda in China (after the Songyue Pagoda), dating from the 6th century, is located in the temple grounds.[2] Today the temple is a UNESCO World Heritage site and is undergoing restoration.](http://web.archive.org./web/20110520060832im_/http://cdn0.wn.com/vp/i/03/baee99b592904a.jpg) China Daily Wed 18 May 2011
