华严寺位于大同古城西南隅，坐西向东，始建于辽重熙七年（公元1038年），兼具辽国皇室宗庙性质，是我国现存年代较早、保存较为完整的一座辽金时期寺庙建筑群，1961年被国务院公布为第一批全国重点文物保护单位。华严寺大雄宝殿是我国现存两座最大的佛殿之一。薄伽教藏殿是我国现存辽代殿堂式建筑的典型作品，殿内保存着29尊辽代塑像，其中合掌露齿菩萨有“东方维纳斯”的美誉。
Facing to the east, Huyan Temple is located in the southwest of Datong Ancient City. It was originally founded in the 7th year of the Congxi Period (1308) of the Liao Dynasty (916-1125). It originally was the ancestral temple of the royal family of the Liao Dynasty. It is one of the earliest and best-preserved Buddhist temples of the Liao and Jin (1115-1234) Dynasties. In 1961, the Huayan Temple was proclaimed as one of the first batch of Key Cultural Relics under the protection of the Chinese State Council. The Great Buddha Hall of the temple is one of the two largest Buddha Halls in China. Bhagavan Hall is a typical masterpiece of the hall-style architecture of the Liao Dynasty, in which there are 29 sculptures of the Liao Dynasty preserved intact. The representative sculpture is a statue of a Grinning Boddhisattva with Clasped Hands known as ‘Oriental Venus’.
