China: Ming Dynasty Great Hall of the Buddha and the octagonal Qing-era pavilion, Yuantong Si (Yuantong Temple), Kunming, Yunnan Province. The Yuantong Temple dates originally from the Nanzhao Kingdom at the time of the Tang Dynasty (618-907). After two major restorations and expansion in the Chenghua period (1465-1487) of the Ming Dynasty and the 24th year of Emperor Kangxi's rule (1686) of the Qing Dynasty, the temple took on its present design, with covered corridors, bridges and grand halls.
