[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Buddhist Shuanglin Temple (Chinese: 双林寺; pinyin: Shuānglínsě), part of the World Heritage Site of Pingyao, stands in the countryside about 7 kilometers southwest of the ancient city. It was originally founded in the 6th century during the Northern Wei period, although the present buildings date to the Ming and Qing dynasties. It is notable for its collection of over two thousand decorated clay statues dating from the 12th-19th centuries.
