    显通寺,位于五台山台怀镇北侧,为佛国五台山建造历史最早、建筑规模最大的寺院。时光倒流到东汉永平年间(公元69年),中国第一古寺-白马寺建成后,两位天竺高僧从洛阳来到五台山,建起了五台山的第一座寺院-大孚灵鹭寺(显通寺的曾用名),史称“中国第二古寺”,开启了五台山成为佛教圣地的历史进程。时至今日,显通寺占地面积8万余平方米,各种建筑400余间、大多为明清时期的遗构,成为规模最大的全山寺院之首。显通寺内三大古建筑闻名遐迩,全木结构的大佛殿,纯砖结构的无量殿、全铜铸造的铜殿;其中最精彩夺目的当属铜殿。铸于明万历年间(公元1609年)的仿木结构方形铜殿,外观两层重檐,高8.3米、长4.7米、宽4.5米;内为一室,四壁铸满小佛万尊,中央台上端坐高1米的铜佛;铜殿用50吨铜铸成,外饰金箔,远观近瞧,闪闪金光,熠熠生辉。

The temple was built in the Yongping years of the East Han Dynasty (69 AD), and was first named Daqi Lingqi Temple. It was expanded during the Northern Wei Dynasty and rebuilt in the Tang Dynasty, and was renamed "Dahuayan Temple". Rebuilt in the early Ming Dynasty, Taizu gave the "Daxiantong Temple". The temple sits in the north and south, covering an area of about 80,000 square meters, with more than 400 buildings of various types, most of which were built in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The seven temples are built on the central axis, namely Guanyin Palace, Wenshu Temple, Daxiong Palace, Wuliang Palace, Millennium Palace, Tong Palace and Tibetan Jing Pavilion. The bronze hall was cast in the Ming Wanli 38 years (1610 AD), sharing 100,000 pounds of copper, and is one of the best preserved bronze halls in China.
