In 2024, I visited Linfen's Tiemen Temple and Pingyang Drum Tower.

Dayun Temple is located next to Shanxi Normal University. It was first built during the Zhenguan period of the Tang dynasty and rebuilt during the Kangxi period. It is commonly known as Tiemen Temple because of the huge iron Buddha head inside. It is now a museum, and you can visit for free with your ID card. There is a free parking lot nearby. The most eye-catching building in the temple is the 39.5-meter-tall golden-roofed pagoda. The pagoda is square-shaped, with 60 glazed reliefs of Buddhist themes embedded on all four sides. They are exquisite and can be compared to the glazed pagoda of Guangsheng Temple. Inside the pagoda is a 15-ton Tang dynasty cast iron Buddha head, which is breathtaking. It was originally gilded, but most of it is now gone. Not far from Dayun Temple is Pingyang Drum Tower, also known as Dazhong Tower. It is also square-shaped and is said to be the tallest drum tower in China.
