Tiefo Temple was originally founded during the Tang Dynasty's Zhenguan era (627–649 AD) under the name "Daci Temple." It was later renamed after a massive bronze-cast iron Buddha statue from the Ming Dynasty was installed inside. Standing 4.5 meters tall and fully gilded, the statue is believed to have been cast during the reign of the Yongle Emperor and holds significant artistic and religious value.
After centuries of destruction and reconstruction, the current structures date mainly from the Qing Dynasty’s Qianlong period, preserving typical Sichuan Buddhist architectural layout: main gate, Hall of Heavenly Kings, Great Buddha Hall, and Scripture Pavilion aligned along a central axis. Ornate roof tiles, carved beams, and intricate murals reflect the refined style of late imperial China. The temple houses numerous stone inscriptions and wooden sutras documenting past abbots and donors—key sources for studying Buddhist history in southwestern China. Today, it is designated a Provincial Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit, making it a vital cultural and spiritual landmark in Chengdu.
