Baisui Palace (simplified Chinese: 百岁宫; traditional Chinese: 百歲宮; pinyin: Baǐsuì Gōng) is a Buddhist temple located on the top of Chaxiao Peak, in Chizhou, Anhui, China. Over the course of 400 years, the temple was destroyed and rebuilt several times, due to war and natural disasters. Alongside Zhiyuan Temple, Dongyan Chan Temple and Ganlu Temple, it was venerated as one of the "Four Great Buddhist Temples in Mount Jiuhua".
