Gaomin Temple (Chinese: 高旻寺; pinyin: Gāomín Sì) is a Buddhist Temple in Hanjiang District of Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province of China. During the Qing dynasty, it was considered one of the eight great temples of Yangzhou.

The temple is situated in a semi-rural setting about 7 km south of downtown Yangzhou, on the western shore of the Old Channel[1] of the Grand Canal of China, just south of its junction with the Yizheng-Yangzhou Canal.

  1. ^ In Yangzhou, there are two Grand Canal channels. The Old Channel runs through the city center, while the new channel, used by modern ships, is a few kilometers to the east.
