Huating Temple(Chinese:华亭寺；Pinyin:Huátíngsì) locates at the hillside of Western Hill, Yunnan Province. Hidden in a large area of bamboos, the temple was built in the 11th century and originally designed as a county temple for Gao Zhishen, Kunming's governor during the Song dynasty (1063AD). It used to be a county temple of the Nanzhao Kingdom. It was rebuilt as a Buddhist temple in the fourteenth century and it continued to grow and later became the largest Buddhist complex in Kunming. The main temple contains a trinity of gilded lacquer Buddhas seated on lotus thrones. It is characterized by blue hair, august gesture and sumptuous setting. Comparing with the serious Buddha, the 500 luohan on the sidewalls, similar to those in the Bamboo Temple, then appear frivolous and easygoing. Besides, the temple was frequented by many poets in the ancient times. They left lots of inscriptions or excellent poems there.

Today, there still are some fine statues and excellent gardens. It is the biggest Buddhist Temple in Yunnan with the number of more than 50 monks.
