Guanghan Baima Temple is located on the Yazi River in the west of Guanghan City, adjacent to the famous tourist attraction in China - the ruins of Sanxingdui Ancient City in Guanghan. The history of Guanghan Baima Temple can be traced back to the Eastern Han Dynasty. According to Qianlong's "Hanzhou Zhi Jianzhi Zhi" in the Qing Dynasty, there is a Baima Temple in the western monastery (zhi, formerly known as the seat of the local government). There are also historical records and archaeological evidence in recent years that the current Sanxingdui in Guanghan was the central capital of the ancient Shu Kingdom in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and a batch of ancient brick walls from the Eastern Han Dynasty have been excavated on the site of Baima Temple. The ancient Guanghan Sanxing Baima Temple was named "White Horse Temple" because Luoyang Baima Temple sent eminent monks to carry scriptures on white horses to Guanghan City. The scale is very large and magnificent, and it was famous for a while in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. In modern times, wars were raging, and the Sanxingdui Baima Temple in Guanghan suffered repeated disasters and was almost completely destroyed during the Cultural Revolution. After the restoration of the religious policy, the White Horse Temple in Sanxingdui of Guanghan was rebuilt, the Mahavira Hall was completed in 2004, and the Kalachakra Altar is still under preparation.
