Baoxiang Temple in Wenshang county of Jining, East China's Shandong province was built during the Northern and Southern Dynasties (AD 502-581). In 1994, 141 pieces of Buddhist artifacts, including one of the world's only two teeth left of Sakyamuni Buddha, were unearthed. This is what catapulted the temple to a renowned status.
