The Hall of Guanyin or Guanyin Hall ({{zh|s=观音阁|t=觀音閣|p=Guānyīngé}} or {{zh|s=观音殿|t=觀音殿|p=Guānyīndiàn}}) is the most important annex halls in Chinese Buddhist temples and mainly for enshrining Guanyin (Avalokiteśvara). Guanyin, also called "Guanshiyin" ({{zh|c=觀世音|p=|labels=no}}), "Guanshizizai" ({{zh|c=觀世自在|p=|labels=no}}), "Guanzizai" ({{zh|c=觀自在|p=|labels=no}}), etc., is the attendant of Amitabha and one of the "Western Three Saints" ({{zh|c=西方三聖|p=|labels=no}}). Guanyin is renowned for his mercy and sympathy. According to Chapter of the Universal Gate of Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva ({{zh|c=《觀世音菩薩普門品》|p=|labels=no}}), if people are in danger, they just need to call his name and he will hear them and go to save them. Since he has many manifestations, different places enshrine different statues of Saint Guanyin ({{zh|c=圣觀音|p=|labels=no}}), Guanzizai ({{zh|c=觀自在|p=|labels=no}}), and Thousand-armed and eyed Guanyin ({{zh|c=千手千眼觀音菩薩|p=|labels=no}}).[1][2][3]
