Tiantai Temple (simplified Chinese: 天台寺; traditional Chinese: 天臺寺; pinyin: Tiāntaí Sì), also known as the Temple of Ksitigarbha (地藏寺), is the highest Buddhist temple[1] dedicated to Ksitigarbha located on Mount Jiuhua, in Qingyang County, Anhui, China.[2] It was first built in the Tang dynasty (618–907), and went through many changes and renovations through the following dynasties. Most of the present structures in the temple were repaired or built in the late Qing dynasty (1644–1911).
