38°52′53″N 113°40′34″E / 38.8815°N 113.676°E / 38.8815; 113.676 Gufo Temple (Chinese: 古佛寺) is located on the bank of Qingshui River, Jingangku, Shanxi province, China and is the first temple to be seen if entering the Mount Wutai area from the south route. According to Mount Wutai's history, there are only records of the renovation of this temple, but nothing concerning its founding year. Thus, it is speculated "Old Buddha exists before the beginning of the world. Gufo Temple (Old Buddha Temple) exists before Mount Wutai."
