The Thai Temple Garden in Luoyang

The Thai-style Buddhist temple in Luoyang, also known as the Thai Temple Garden of the White Horse Temple, is located to the west of the ancient building complex of the White Horse Temple and north of the Indian Temple Garden, covering an area of 11,664 square meters. It is the largest temple within the White Horse Temple's international temple gardens. The Thai-style Buddhist temple of the White Horse Temple was funded and constructed by Thailand, with the initial construction starting in 1992. After two phases of construction, it was fully completed in 2014. A grand completion ceremony and a ceremony to welcome the Buddhist relics were held. The 'National Treasure' of Thailand—the Buddha relics that had been enshrined in the Golden Mountain Temple in Bangkok for over a hundred years—were transferred to the relic stupa of the White Horse Temple, becoming a symbol and testament to the friendly exchanges between China and Thailand. The Director of the Thai Royal Office and 722 other delegation members attended the related Buddhist events.
