Pilu Temple in Nanjing, located in Xuanwu District, was initially built during the Ming Jiajing era (1522-1566) and originally named Pilu Nunnery. Upon entering the gate, visitors can see the Hall of Heavenly Kings, Mahavira Hall, Guanyin Hall, Ten Thousand Buddha Tower, Scripture Depository, Pilu Hall, Pagoda Courtyard, Dharma Hall, and Dining Hall. Among these, the Ten Thousand Buddha Tower is currently the largest single-structure Ming-style ancient architecture in Chinese Han Buddhism.  
This temple was deliberately sought out in urban Nanjing. Inside, the Great Bao'en Temple bell, lotus vats, and the "Qianlong Buddhist Canon" are collectively known as the "Three Treasures of Pilu Temple."
